Sons and Fathers the story goes,
The experience much the same;
The good and bad who better knows
When struggling to uphold a name.
A deeper love there’ll never be,
That bond at birth, of God’s delight,
But ever steeped in tragedy;
Sons and Fathers what’s wrong and right?
For seen I have upon the lap
Then a teenager to a man;
Yes, near and far within the gap
Ever chasing a different plan.
Some they get it and some they don’t,
The ties that bind and how we bond;
For Sons and Fathers will and won’t
And the tragedy goes beyond.
But peace it comes to all of us
When boys to men the good and bad;
And those of you who’ve missed the bus
Need to know I miss my Dad.
