My Son

My son, my son why must you learn the hard way
Why can't you accept life day by day
Joys and gladness, tears and sorrow
You must know there'll always be tomorrow.

My son, my son you try so hard to be a man
But you won't give up your boyish plan
Take that chip off your shoulder
For each day you grow a little older.

The world doesn't stop for hurt pride and stubborness
There's too little time to pass up happiness
So stand tall and face life with a grin
This is the only way the peace you seek you'll win.

Eternal Destiny    (no date)
