A poem for my boys


As you try to find out just who you are
look to the seas or stare at the stars.
For they be what they be
and are what they are.



Grass cant help but be green
Skies cant help but be blue
and my wish for you child,
is you cant help but be you


We live in a world that tells us who should be who.
We live in a world that tells you what should be you.
We live in a world that is not always true.


Pay no attention as best you can
to any woman, person, or man
who assumes to tell you where you should stand
who stifles your purpose or insults your plans.


Follow that voice, that strong nature within you
That voice that seems to speak the loudest when you're unsure of what to do

For that voice is honest
and that voice is true
that voice is forever
that voice is you


It is your individual nature
that the good Lord gave personally to you
It is your gift alone
It was meant especially for you

You possess that same beautiful nature that the seas and stars do
You are an unchanging wonder by just being you.
