The Father’s Eyes-

FATHER SAID TO HIS SON-

“Son I hand you my sins-
This is my will son, for your life to begin-
A journey is ahead of you-
For 80 years you will fight-
Some days will be beautiful-
Some will be dark as night-
Hold strong my son and allow the world to see who you are-
Show them my boy of how to recover from scars-
Allow them to see the beauty in your soul-
Be ambitious my boy but don’t be driven by gold-
For snakes will want to hunt you-and try to hurt you-
You must stay strong and no matter where I am, I will never desert you”

THE SON ASKED HIS FATHER-

“Father how must I live-
Moments that cross my mind, make my soul not want to give-
I feel fearful father like I don’t know where to go-
I’m not sure my father if I am supposed to be warm or I’m supposed to be cold-
I’m scared now father for this is the end of my innocence-
And I’m not sure my father if I understand life and its relevance-
And now Father you are passing me your sins, and I’m not sure my Father if I’m ready for all this to begin-“

THE FATHER HELD HIS SON’S HAND AND SAID-

“Listen to me; you are an angel heaven sent to be-
A man and yet a solider fighting evil in the night-
A will of ambition not tainted by spite-
Go on now my son allow the world to see who you will become-
Don’t fear my boy-your mind is your gun-
Fight them with knowledge, compassion, intelligence and strength-
Feed them the word of love and give the love all your thanks-
I must leave you now boy-For the Father calls me home-
Hold strong my son for my kingdom is now your throne-
I love you my boy and this you will never forget-
I am in side you my son, and we bare us no regret-
I LOVE YOU”

The Father closes his eyes-
Off to heaven he was called-
Leaving his son to fight through the warmth and through the cold-
The Son stands up-For today a man was born-
Driven by love-Never tainted by scorn-
A hero arises in his father’s eyes-and in his father’s sins-
A righteous life will live all for the righteous beauty to begin-
The Son touched his father’s eyes and kissed him one last time-

“ I Love you Father and I will feel you in my soul-
I will see you in my mind-
I now bare your sins-as I will pass it to mine-
Then my son will be righteous doing your will as the blind-“

THE Son no longer feels his once past fright-

“I must go now father and fight the good fight-
I will miss you my father and forever goodnight”

The Son becomes the Father and the Father becomes the light-
