Advice of a Father To a Son

son you are not morethan your thoughts
you cannot out-run your thoughts

                      son you are not morethan your vision
                      oh yes! you cannot journey farther than your inner sight

son listen to the wise words of your father
                  you are not morethan your dreams
                          yes you cannot reach heights above your dreams
