Fatherhood
What will I do if you come uninvited?
​
The stars won't align prior,
​
And the sun won't be bright.
​
No one is expecting you here, child.
​
Will I build a dam to keep you at bay?
​
Or will I erect walls to distance us from you?
​
Whatever it may be,
​
Always be sure,
​
That I'll do all in my power to stop you where you stand,
​
And send you back.
​
Because son, it's not your time,
​
And though I desperately long to see you again,
​
There are people that need you more,
​
And more importantly, you need them.
​
So don’t bother coming,
​
And don’t bother knocking,
​
We will meet when it's due time.
​
And if in the end,
​
You'll burst through the dam,
​
And tear down the walls,
​
And find yourself here with me,
​
Oh sweet boy,
​
Birds will no longer chirp,
​
Trees will no longer sing,
​
The moon will lose its haunting glow,
​
Wolves at mountain peaks will howl a mournful cry,
​
And I'll be there too,
​
Broken hearted and shattered,
​
To welcome you and hold your hand,
​
Forever,
​
My child.
