                          Straight From The Heart
                                 Ken Trant 

 My life is almost over
 my cycle near complete
 The treasure of my time on earth
 lay snuggled at my feet

 To him I'm mister wonderful 
 unable to make mistakes 
 I've tried my best
 to do my best
 no matter what it takes

 For nothing gives me pleasure
 so deep,so pure,so true
 As what I've felt since the day
 I first set eyes on you
 
 I thought that I was ready 
 for a child, of my own, to hold
 If I knew then what I know now
 I could never have been so bold

 From little runny noses
 and diapers that always leak 
 To nights I walked you to and fro
 that seemed to last a week

 Not for mountains of gold 
 or years of good health
 Would I trade in the time we've spent
 The smiles and tears 
 that filled my years
 and make up my only true wealth 

 What I feel is not measured 
 by weight or volume,or mass
 But I know that in my heart
 it will forever last

 it carries with it a history
 to cause ones hopes to soar
 with just a hint of tragidy
 of one whose heart was torn

 But it causes mountains to rumble
 and its made nations fall
 Its the most powerful and pleasant
 emotion of all 

 I love you Jarrod (My First and Favorite Son).
