Hello Goodbye

Heard me say to him watch your step
Please look before you leap old son
But he was foolish and headstrong
To soon the deed was done

He grew from him to be the me
Everyone knows today
Instead of being quiet
He has much more to say

He failed at love and being a dad
As I look back he drove me mad
He took a way that led to nought
Trouble that is all he brought

Somehow he has redeeming features
Though he has loved the rarest creatures
Would I change him no not I 
He and I the same hello goodbye

    I read it again now that I am not distracted, I have a different perspective. You are respecting yourself and appreciating where you have ended up. I like it even better now. Good job Owen.

    Love the short matter of fact way you did it and the ending was really great. I'm kind of afraid to post the one I did myself. You ended up what you are and no use crying over spilt milk!! but that's how my poem kind of sounds .haha
