Fathers Lament

A newborn was held in his fathers arms , born under a full moon at midnight

His eyes shut to the world before him as his father recites

"My boy. My very being.  I wish you nothing but the very best I can give and more. Love, wealth, opportunities and direction but I must be honest and warn you of life's wicked ways" he laments

"Know every path that leads to true success and happiness is paved in thorns , hot coal and weeds.

Know that if your path in life walks easy, it'll be insufficient to fill your needs.

Know that people can be good as they so choose to be

Know when to cut ties

And I pray you be a better man than me"
