Cause and Affect

I try to teach them well Lessons learned, wisdom I have gained Guide them through a relevant tale Help them via lessons I've attained Preparing them to become good men Molding them as best I can It gets harder these days I'm not there to oversee Make sure they don't stray Provide them with what's needed And know they are okay Tis no easy thing They need their father Knowledge that I bring I simply cannot falter It's sad though Still so much Left to show And soon They will GO
