I AM STILL THE SON OF MY OWN FATHER
AND LIKE HIM I'VE BEEN AND AM IN EVERY WAY
HE LIVED HIS LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS VALUES
MOSTLY ALL OLD SCHOOL VALUES ON EVERY DAY
I AM MYSELF NOW IN MY LATE YEARS OF LIFE
AND I HAVE NOT EVER FAULTED HIS VALUES YET
REGARDLESS WHOM OR WHAT MAY TRY TO TEST THEM
HIS VALUES ARE MINE AND EVER SOLID ARE THEY SET
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A POSITIVE SOUL IN MY LIFE
AND LIKE ALL OTHERS UPON THIS PLANET EARTH
I KNOW ONLY TOO WELL FROM RIGHT AND WRONG
I LIVE TO THE LETTER MY VALUES IN ALL THEIR WORTH
THIS I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED ANY SOUL CAN DO
AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANY SOUL MAY SUGGEST
THIS IS THE WAY I FEEL LIFE WOULD HAVE ME BE
AND ALL THATS EXPECTED IS WE DO OUR VERY  BEST.
