Each day I wonder why I'm here
is it to fill what love requires
Or is there much more to my life
than all the joys my heart desires
I have been the emissary
of ancestors who came and went
My purpose lay within the genes
that through life and death they have sent
As thousands struggled lived and died
they entrusted within my soul
Hopes and dreams of generations
to lead family in life's goal
My duty in this life is clear
pass love from the child within me
Along with prayers from those who've died
for all the hopes of things to be
While I tie my child to the past
going back to antiquity
He takes me into the future
granting us immortality

I have often thought that a fathers job lay not only in his ability to provide.It is to enlighten your children with love of life. With that in mind I feel it important that we pass old wisdom's to the new. Time has a way of wearing us down. The old recriminations seem to ring out hollow as we ourselves become polished by the winds of time. In that end we see that enlightenment shows bright upon the simple truths that society masks and hides. We are here to succeed in life. Not monetarily but by producing a better version of us each time. Darwin would be proud. However to me Humanity has transcended the boundary of sentient thought. Leaving us a greater purpose that of carrying our brother along with us on life's journey.
