TO BE A FATHER

TO BE A FATHER

TO BE A WARRIOR

TO BE THE VOICE

THAT REASSURES

REASSURE THAT THE DARKNESS

HOLDS NO FEARS

HOLDS NO TEARS

HOLDS ONLY THE IMAGININGS

OF A BILLION BRAIN CELLS


TO BE A FATHER

IS TO MERGE WITH YOUR TWIN SOUL

SOLELY RENEWED FOR ANOTHER

A OTHER HOLDS THE KEY

TO THE DOOR OF YOUR FUTURE PLANS

THE KEY TO OBTAIN AN AMBITION GREATER THAN SHINE

BUT TO HOLD THE LIGHT SO HE CAN SHINE

SHINE THROUGH THE LIT DARKNESS
OF A BILLION POSSIBILITIES

TO BE A FATHER

IS MORE THAN BESTOWING ON YOU

MY FATHER’S NAME FOR KEEPSAKE

BUT PLEASE KEEP FOR THE SAKE

OF TRACING WHERE OUR BLOOD ORIGINATES


TO BE THIS FATHER

IS TO LAY OVER YOU

ARMS CUPPED

LAY OVER YOU

AS MY SKIN IS PIERCED

BY GUNPOWDERD SPEARS

LAY OVER YOU

AS MY LIMBS ARE TORN

BY RAINING BOMBS

LAY OVER YOU

AS MY BLOOD NOURISHES THE EARTH

THE EARTH IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU

FOR YOU THE SKY IS YOUR PLAYGROUND

EVEN AFTER I LAY IN THIS GROUND


TO BE THIS FATHER

IS TO SMILE EVER WIDER

THINKING OF YOUR FACE

COS WHEN I STEP THROUGH THE DOOR

MY SMILE MIRRORS YOURS


TO BE THIS FATHER

IS TO REALISE

THAT THIS BURDEN

IS THE GREATEST BLESSING OF ALL
