What Is A Son?

A promise of tomorrow.
A namesake shining through.
A bloodline that continues on,
Through eternal springs of youth.

New strength as from a lion.
But, in his softness like a lamb,
Emerges a new warrior,
  From this boy now turned a man.

For what is life but battles?
Each new day a victory won.
It takes the courage of a soldier,
To be raised up as a son.

So guard your heart my son, my own.
And always seek out truth.
May this wisdom always stay with you,
When you’ve left behind your youth.

A swaddling wrap of clothing
Encompassed you the day we met.
No matter how your light may shine,
That bright day I’ll not forget.

Whether he packs a pilot’s parachute,
Or streaks across the sprawling sky,
A son is just as valuable,
Whether he goes or stays behind.
