If Acorns Could Fly

Imagine an acorn that falls from the tree
As i fell from my parents 

When I hit the ground I fell in love
My roots grew deep in you and you made me strong

You cut those roots of and now I am dead
Yet I still stand like a rotten old tree

It's a shame acorns can't fly
Never having hit the ground I might have lived on 

My son Tyler is my acorn he made falling from the tree 
Well worth hitting the ground

Help him grow strong as you did me
But teach him to fly For the ground is nothing but dirt!!!
