Rites of Passage

Son

I know your pain and anguish

I understand your anger - however misplaced

I know the burden of blame, and it’s fowl taste

For no matter whom you spit on - it will not leave

It’s birthplace



Son

Responsibility for ones actions is be-wedded

By acceptance of forthcoming reactions

There is no separation, divorce

Nor interception by deviant force



Son

To truly be free from the outward prison

You must free yourself from the inward prison

For one is merely a reflection of the other

For only through love and God grace

Will you the awareness of one another



Son

I love you - more than you can fathom this moment

As you begin to love yourself, forgive yourself

Realize self - this will beget it’s own atonement

Let go, let God - let him be your divining rod





Son

Don’t be sad

Never let them see you down

Turn a negative into positive every go round

God Bless - love Dad
