“I’m on my own,”
Said the young man
To his aging Father,
Who stood at the door,
Blinking his tears away.
“You don’t understand
“I’m going to set on fire
This world, wait and see.”
“You’d just be a bother,
In getting what I desire.
I want to fly free.”
The old man bent over,
And picked up his heart
From the clean-swept floor.
His thoughts took him back
When he would snow track
The deer with his only Son.
He knew from the start,
He would love and adore
His Son until he died.
He wished him well, and
Over the years, he cried.
The Son had forgotten
That he had a Dad;
Spent years making money,
And became a success.
He’d be the first to confess,
He knew that his Dad felt bad,
Because he hadn’t visited him,
Once in all these years.
He woke up one morning,
And his Dad was dead,
And he wept, about words unsaid.
