Foundations
I was very fortunate to have had a good start and foundation in life, I had Grandparents who loved and looked out for me, I had a mother who prayed and sacrificed much for my gain, and I had a father who talked with me.
I had a father who talked with me
Allowed me the right to disagree
To question, and always answered me
As well as he could-and truthfully.
He talked of adventures; horrors of war
Of life, its meaning: what love was for
How each would always need to strive
To improve the world to keep it alive.
Stressed the duty we own each other
To be aware each man is a brother
Words for laughter he also spoke
A silly song or a happy joke.
Time runs along; some say I'm wise
That I look at life with seeing eyes
My Heart is happy, my mind is free
I had a father we talked to me.
