Generation

Young boy.
My son.
You will grow.
Oh,
how you will grow.
They will tell you
to be strong
and they will train you
to be tough.
If I have been
as good a father
as mine was
to me,
then you will have learned
to feel
and to be love,
for strength
without anything to protect
is meaningless.
Young man,
grown man.
Allow yourself
to be love,
and use your strength
to protect that
which you love.
