I want a Son

by Garocho

I want a Son I want to witness my baby boy’s birth. I want to show him his promise, his worth. I want my son to grow up playful and active. I want my son to be outspoken, kind, and creative. I want my son to see how proud he makes his dad. I want my son to know he is loved and never have to be sad. I want my son to grow up kind, brave, smart, and sweet. I want my son to grow up, love, and compete. I want my son to be well rounded and go out for things he enjoys. I want my son to have many friends and hang out with his “boys”. I want my son to bring a smile on his father’s face, whenever he wins first place. I want my son to become a strong, smart, and kind man. I want my son to have his own hopes, dreams, and plans. I want my son to go to continue his education and go to college. I want my son to find his soul mate and live happily in marriage. My son one day you will read this and understand. I want a better life for you because my true father ran.

My name is Giovanni, I am a student at Illinois College, which is in Jacksonville, Illinois. I was born with a birth defect that has made me deaf from my left ear, I'm 19 years old, Puerto Rican and I love poetry, art, and music! The surgeries I had when I was younger left me missing some ribs on the right side of my body. I got bullied for many things throughout my life, but I have been able to live my life everyday! I want to spread my love of life through music, I want to be an inspiration to those who were bullied and those with disabilities! Singing, poetry, drawing, and music have been my passion since forever and they will always be a part of my life!
