IN THE NAME OF FATHER : POEM 2

THE WISDOM
I sit and watch you, with a gentle pride,
As you now teach the lessons that I taught.
The patient calm, the love you cannot hide,
The gentle battles that your heart has fought.
I see my lessons living on in you,
A wisdom passed from father to his son.
A quiet grace, a love that's always true,
A new life's journey that has just begun.
My role has changed, from teacher to a guide,
To offer truth when you ask for my sight.
And watch you stand there, living on your own side,
And finding wisdom in the darkest light.
My love is now a silent, trusted thing,
A song of hope that I have learned to sing.
