Do You Love Me, My Son?

I wrote this poem along with Do You Love Me, Dad? in 2009 after the Father-Son Army Day.

Do You Love Me, My Son?

Do you love me, my Son?

Then follow Christ;

For He must make changes to your life.

 

Do you love me, my Son?

Then protect your sisters;

Flowers need protection or they will wither.

 

Do you love me, my Son?

Then guard your eyes;

Do not fall for the devil’s lies.

 

Do you love me, my Son?

Then listen to me;

My wise instruction will help you see.

 

Do you love me, my Son?

Then follow my Godly example;

The Lord will make sure that it is ample.

 

Do you love me, my Son?

That, I need to know;

For if you do not, your life will show.
