Fathers and Sons
For one to take the challenge of a child
And place him on the path to carry on
The legacy a father has compiled,
He must remember, he too is a son.
Each boyish jaunt may test a patient man,
Remember then the vigor of your prime
So with that wisdom you may understand
And simply know that things will change in time.
No father keeps a son through apathy,
Disputes of youth fade quickly in the mind,
So open wide your eyes so you can see the
Obstinance that keeps each other blind.
Now fathers love your sons with all your heart
So when you're old and gray they ne'er depart.
