Ten Poems about Sons
In this delightful mini anthology we find touching and uplifting poems exploring sons as babies and sons as young men, as well as everything in between.
We meet a boy daydreaming in bed on a summer’s evening, his mother delighting in his wakefulness as his imagination roams in the dark. There’s a son begging his dad for a bedtime story, which must be different from the last one. And then there are unforgettable rites of passage such as a gap year, which turns out to be as much of an adventure for the parent as for the child.
The poems are a reminder of the delights, joys and endless surprises of watching a son grow through childhood into whatever happens next.
