Man Of My Own 
   ( part 3 )

My son, your wedding approaches now so fast 
we proudly share in your love and coming joys. 
Please, be kind to her always and make it last 
and gift us several little girls and boys! 

Never forget your dear father's sage advice, 
hold on to our family's principled views. 
Never sacrifice honor at any price, 
eternally give her the love she is due! 

As life brings its trials and great tribulations, 
look to heaven when in dark desperate straits. 
There gifted to us are true celebrations, 
often with the shields that ward off evil fates. 

As my dearest son, you have now made me proud, 
with family you are now about to start. 
In life celebrate and sing out to her loud, 
soon you will be joined with another dear heart! 

****             ****             ****

Father, how much I miss you words can't say,
since your death life has never been the same.
First it was difficult and skies seemed grey,
I should have been with you, not seeking fame.

Beautiful memories of times gone by,
sadden me as you are not by my side.
Each photograph I look at makes me cry,
fills me with guilt for every time I lied.

When I have a problem I look for you,
but then realize you're not here to talk.
Your words of wisdom will always be true,
that made me strong since the day I could walk.

Father your legacy lives on with me,
despite my destiny not being known,
I will continue our family tree,
your love has made me a man of my own.
