Like Father, Like Son.

Will you remember me as I leave for the woods?
Can you hold me in your head?
Is this old worn out self worth keeping
Tucked away safe in your memories?

When I light my life aflame
Will you respect that fire?
Will your arctic opinion douse my blaze
and leave me with only ashes?

Will my legacy be a thing of pride?
I don't need wealth or fame
I don't need the masses approval
I only want you to say yes.

Because my winding trail will take me far
And I will tread where you never wanted me to
But it is my journey and my destination
Please don't make me ashamed

Two lives that are alike in dignity
I learned my faults from you
Just as you taught me
All my strengths
