About 6 years ago, on August 26, 2019, I shared a song for ASid here. I recently took a second look at it and was seriously disappointed. That was so amateur; but I guess I had to start somewhere. So, here is to right-ing that wrong. Here is my second attempt. It is no longer a song, but a poem of sorts. I’d like to believe that it is less pretentious and more honest than the one written 6 years ago.
As you leave home
Here is some advice
Leave it or take it
They are just words
Dad may not have been there
Ma could have done better
There wasn’t always sunshine
There were dark days
You shone despite
You carved your path
You are off to a start
Do not look back
Life is a race
You can be a horse
But be the beast
That carries the weight
No matter where you land
No matter what you do
Know this within you
The joy you brought this life
I believe one day I will write that song, for him, with him … I may have found my writing partner!
