Father Teaching the son

Teach the Son to Walk (Poem 32)

Poetry by Papi Logo

Careless are ye lad – then careful shall ye be
You’ve come to place of change – and learnin’ it shall be
Be just the cause of habit – and in stone, they seem to be
Be harder stone that breaks ‘em out – and shows just what they be

Fill the mind and curse the day – mistake is what you’ll find
Lay aside the mind of self – remorse the every find
Give the take and ask the why – its grace to soon find
Keep the tears there’s more in need – and answer will ye find

Set new the habits now – set learnin’s change in stone
Let careful thoughts inside the mind – set pure in whited stone
Lift the gate and curse no more – choose well in harder stone
Not careless as fools through time – who’ve cast away the stone
