Invisible Gaps

It is Ir'n, daddy, 
Corrects my boy as I speak
English with my Latin trained mind
He does not understand 
I need to pronounce all letters I see
In the word Iron
His little mind tries, patiently,  
to understand
Why I fail so misarably
At such an easy task
And he repeats effortlessly
It is Ir'n, daddy.
