Father, Role Model

All This Experience, All These Regrets
How does one Teach
When one is still a Student
Which Experiences do I use
Good or Bad, Life Lessons For Me
As A Lesson Plan For You
My cirriculum of Life, is not
The Life, I ever want you, Learning
What words do I say to You
When you're exactly like Me
Alive, Innocent, and Carefree
Will my Tales of Heartbreak
Be Benificial to You, In your search for Love
My Stories of Failure, Drive your Success
My Memories of Love, Help You find yours
How Do I Mentor You on Regrets
When I am weighted down by So Many
Will my memories of Last Goodbyes
Be a lesson to you, in Love and Forgiveness
My Feelings of Loss and Pain
Prepare You, for a Life, You might Live
All This Experience, All This Regret
So many lessons learned from each
Over and Over by me, so one day
I can find a way, to show You
My Experiences were Equally Important as My Regrets
Since, some of my Regrets, Later In Life
Became My Fondest Memories, from lessons learned
Mistakes Made, Actions not Acted On
Leading to Decisions made, Consequences suffered
To Eventually, Calling You, My Daughter
Just Remember, My Dearest Isabella
I'm Not Perfect, but
As Your Father, I Wish I Could Be......For You.
