Reflections of the Father

I stumbled across some writings my son had put away. In reading his thoughts, I was engaged to write with him. Within deep contemplation, I decided to share our combined thoughts, as a book. I must point out Robert (my son) was in the ninth grade when he wrote these poems; however, he is sixteen years old, today. His words and understanding then surpasses my desire to reach within my talents at his age. It gives me great joy and humble acknowledgement to share this collection with you. I am optimistic the sharing of such a precious gift will stir your soul as it does my own in admiration. In the words of my son, Robert, “Dad, I know it will be great.” - Derrick “It is one of life’s greatest blessings to be a father!!” - Derrick L. Randall
