A Father's Love

I’ll say goodbye my son,

for now the time has come,

for you to be, the man you need to be.

And as you walk your road,

if you find, there’s a load

to heavy for you, pass it on to me

I’m getting old, it’s fact,

this body’s getting wracked;

the work was hard, the pleasures, sometimes few.

But all the sweat and toil,

could not combine to foil,

the love which lives within my heart for you.

Though I will not be there,

you know, that I will share,

your triumphs and achievements, have no fear

I’ll relish them with pride

but if the world should snide,

be not afraid, to share with me, a tear.

Go now with all my love

and may fate, send a dove,

to light upon your heart and grant you peace

But if this wish fall short,

remember this retort;

a father’s love, just knows not, how to cease!
