A Father's Love and Advice

I am truly fortunate to witness
the remarkable gift of fatherhood.
To nurture and to give of oneself
as only a father should.

To share my knowledge with
my son, to give him an edge.
To promise him guidance, fear
he does not have to dread.

This road of undisclosed secrets,
you don't have to travel alone.
I am always near, hold my hand,
and I will lead you home.

The end results of your journey
is determined by your will to succeed.
The outcome of your journey,
requires your will to believe.

Failure to confront life head on
will result in fragmented ideas.
With no road map to guide you,
There will be no life to live.

Always remember to listen with great
intensity when those of wisdom speaks.
It will serve you well, when you are
faced to face with truth or deceit.
