To Father From Son

All you want in this life Is for me to do my best And to be able to drink to ‘The World’s Best Son’ Before you are later laid to rest But it is hard most times for me to Do exactly as you dream Though it does not mean I do not care Nor play for the opposite team You have shown me things in life That I thought were so benign When in reality it was truly real And trouble could have been mine Arguments lost and arguments won About the most personal things When you were only giving strong advice I thought of it as in a boxing ring You are the closest friend I have And just between us, father and son I love you and will never falter
