Words
Values, Morals and Honor
Three things I thought I had,
I always thought it was all about me
I was the coolest of the bad.
My father would tried to tell me
"Son one of these days you will see,
To live with Morals and Honor
You have to learn some honesty".
I just couldn't see what my old man meant
To me he was rambling all the time,
20 years later and trying to grow up
His words I try to find.
When I think about the words my dad used to say
No longer do I disagree,
I am sharing these words with my son today
Because his words helped set me free.
