One Final Struggle
To bring my boy home
Two amazingly special people who have a direct line to my soul
The only two living beings with an intimate knowledge of my heart,
As only they know its comforting sound from the inside
And have my blood running through their veins from the start.
These two have been given to me for a short period of time
After which they head off into the world on their own,
During the in-between years it is my responsibly to ensure
They have all the tools of the trade to make it alone.
I’ve had no choice but to walk this path in solitude
While attempting to give these precious individuals dual sides,
Giving them what they needed to become amazing young men
While putting the recipe together on how to treat women,
Along with all the strength and wisdom to ride out life’s tides.
This adventure, over many years and with a lot of hard work
Has brought three people together in such a way,
That there has been a very fine line between parent and best friend
And for that precious relationship I’ve been thankful every day.
