Father-Son

Hormones demonstrating

the seek of the mind

reminiscent of my own

Was my Son\'s

at the age

of questioning

 

With,a Jolt

the enquiries

refreshed aspirations

with each breath

I took

As,I Focused,on mellowing

his puberty.

 

Knowing flaws

enshrined in Love

Will pass

their best.

 

As a Father

if,he doesn\'t prick me.

I\'ll feel

I have failed.

 

We need to raise

individual souls

who can flourish

with the nourishment

of being themselves.
