Farther

Tooway

Show me how to live

give me all your advice

Beat me everyday

mold me into what you want

 

You lead the way

My child eyes saw superman

Our Path went astray

Teenage me saw the scarecrow

I broke, you couldn't fix me

Adult saw a man who lost

 

His will

His Money

His power

His intelligence

His children

His fancy cars

His house

His Sanity

 

I haven't shed a tear

you were no farther

just a dad

without your things

you were just bad

Goodbye farther

Dad
