Father I'm Lost!
IP:
Alienated from the world, it seems I'm about to lose my composure
My father passed away last month, and now I'm searching for closure
I decided to take a walk in the forest to try and clear my mind
I remember climbing this tree with my father, I must have been nine
See I broke my leg that day, my father carried me 3 miles on his back
He taught me the worlds a colorful place, not everything's white and black
Hey I carved my name in this tree, with my fathers silver utility Knife
He taught me so much about this forest, and so much more about life
He told me "Son were like trees so always remember your ROOTS"
How could I ever forget where I came from, or even fill his large boots
I followed the path for at least 5 miles, till it came to a treacherous Y
"Dad you told I'd have to make choices, you never told me you'd DIE"!
I chose to take the left fork on the path till I came down to the stream
Praying if I closed my eyes tight enough, I'd wake up from this dream
I screamed from the top of my lungs, "God Please show me the Light"
I've been walking this forest for Hours, and now its almost NIGHT
What used to seem so familiar, now seems like such a strange place
"I could never be my Father, even though I have a similar face"
Suddenly out of nowhere I heard a noise and a strong voice interjected
I was startled at first, but then I tried to remain cool, calm and collected
It was a voice of my father, I tripped over a rock, stumbled and fell
He said "Son your a man now", I said "Father you taught me so well"
But Dad "I'm lost in this Forest, could you just show me the way"
"Son use your heart as a compass, and you will never go astray
So as I continued along the path, I heard the echo of his laugh
Even though I couldnt see in front of me, I knew I was on the right path
