The heart of a son's soft voice
Cripples a parent's life free choice
Holding him love wound a man inside
"Okay" said the son as the dad apologized
That quantum state, the place of the feeling
When he said those words had me kneeling
Eight years old and cheeks baby fat so true
That spirit so pure its like life we all redo
Your dad's death is coming in due time
That pain of mine, I am leaving you behind
What will you do, and who will I be
That great father shaping you to see
Or that failure who leaves you broken
With decades set back and wound awoken
Each hour the brain is burning on fire
Worrying I will fail and one day retire
