Poem
A seven year old boy and his father are going away for the weekend. The father notices the look in his young sons eye, when he tells him they are going hunting. The sparkle of adventure that captures his eye, roaring in like a lion. The energetic pumped up child so eager to go. The boys father gives his mother a kiss as he always did as the two of them leave the house, she watches them load up the truck with everything that is needed to make this an unforgettable trip. The father and son sit there with their riffles loaded and ready to go. The wind blows through the young body of the boy as it rattled the leaves on the tree, on this cold crisp October morning. The son looks at his father and asked What is the meaning of life? The fathers look and expression was speechless and he did not know what to tell his young son who was full of like and needing to understand. All the father could think of to say was you'll find out someday when you are older. Your answers will be painted like a red, blues and yellow rainbow. When the time comes you;ll understand what all the colors stand for. A father and son go on a hunting trip years later as an old man and now grown with a family of his own. Nothing had changed between these two men even years later. The same two men sat under the same tree where they had carved their initials into. The son turns to his father and says "I know what the meaning of life is!" For my wife and kids are the red, my job sand friends are the blue and you and mother are the yellow. You guys gave me life, put me on the earth to find out for my self that my rainbow is painted forever in my heart where it can grow. cory long
