To my Child
A flower has petals and a tree has branches
Who you are is not the clothing you wear
But the beauty people must see
The paint on a canvass tells a thousand words
And the story of your life is written in the pictures of your past
Do good, be holy, live life, be free
Cry when you must
Laugh when you can
Rise, fall, try, fail, succeed
Live life, be free.
A moon needs the night sky
As the sunrise needs the horizon
Your soul needs Jesus as water quenches dry land
Each day has its blessings
As every action has its consequence
For everything that has a beginning will eventually have an end
Lions don’t try to fly and birds don’t roar
Mountains aren’t plains and plains aren’t seas
It will suffice that you be all you can be
Love, Dad
