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.
