A Man of Your Own Part Two

A Man Of Your Own part two Forgive me father, it has been a while as you know reaching out is not my style Life can be tough when following our dreams with difficult tests like turbulent streams Son, you will find such waters always deep I'll always stand guard and watch as you sleep My duty to help you set your life straight and always be there before it's too late One has to learn to be independent sometimes life is dark, not so resplendent I've met a girl and she could be the one her love makes me want to stay not to run I see you are an honorable man slow down, think deep and form a solid plan When true love is found, you have to embrace do not let emotions bring you disgrace As your son, you brought me up to be wise love is not a game, nor is she a prize Her character is just like mother's heart in my life she is an important part Blessings on you both if this love is gold if like mother, she's beautiful and bold Pray your marriage brings you both great rewards life shuffles the deck, we just play the cards. Collaboration with my good friend Silent One 1-19- 2016 Syllables: 10 per line Note: A great pleasure composing again with my very talented friend Silent One.

Robert, you and Silent one have penned another good collab. I was not disappointed part two is just as good as part one. Just like I told Silent One, these words could put on a hallmark card and given as gift to and father and son. Because they are words to live by. Well done - Alexis 7
