-------------------------
When I was young
Knee high to a grasshopper
My dad would place me on his knee
And say
“There’s a piece of you inside me son�
I never understood what he meant
Nor did I ever ask him to explain
But somehow I knew when he said it
It meant affection
And I accepted it as that

Many years have gone by now
And daddy’s little boy is all grown-up
And I’m much too big to sit on his knee
Even if he was still around to ask

The other night I was watching tv
Survivor, I think
When a tired eyed little boy
Jumped upon my lap
To rest his tired bones
As I watched his eyes close for the night
I kissed him on the forehead
And said out loud
“There’s a piece of you inside me son�

After all these years I finally understood
I finally got it

By the way dad
If you're listening?

There’s a piece of you inside of me

As you were, I am too young to understand, but your poem makes my heart yearn to know the meaning.
