So Long My Child

So long my child

My son
You are my sun
The light of thy family
But now am going to miss you family
So long,my child

You remember your dad
Though he died
Never be like your dad
His second family
Took away everything from us
But let him rest in peace
So long, my child

It is now my time
Death is never a crime
Because I knew it will reach my time
But i want you to be strong
Withstand that pain of a thorn
Because you are a man
And you need to be strong
So long ,my child

This world is full of dirt
To survive it you need a fight
But son
Fight a fair battle
Never like a snake which is rattle
Be considerate to the poor
So long , my child

I now wish to rest my child
Into an everlasting eternal sleep
Follow what I told you
Because I expect you not to slip
Work hard and never sleep
This world is not for people who sleep
Now
So long , my child
