Cam Newton and his son, Chosen.

Cameron Newton’s son, Chosen, turned 1 on Christmas Eve.

He has bonded with his boy and wrote him a touching poem, which was published in The Player's Tribune.

The poem starts:

This promise I tell you.

I look at you and I am amazed about God's creation.

Don't be like me, son,
Be better than me.
And create your own inspiration
So you won't expect something from nothing,
Just hard work and determination.

Listen to Newton read it:

The poem ends:

Chosen, I will always be there when you need me,
And I am writing you this for you to see,
To show you how much I love you, and what a real man is supposed to be.

I love you, son.
And remember, always:
Love and be true.
And most of all, be UN1QUE,
And be beautifully you.

This promise I tell you.
