To My Son

Be a dreamer, my son,
In this world of make-believe
After all said and done
You have the power to achieve

Let your eyes, my son,
Open your visions far and wide
And may you set your mind
To milestones untried

Life is short, my son,
You hold your fate in hand
Your journey has now begun
Fear not, let love command

You have freedom, my son,
To pause in your hour of doubt
But soon there will be sun
To brighten your voyage out

Take risks in life, my son,
But give them careful thought
There is joy in their pursuit
Whether they blossom or not

Let there be room, my son,
For friendship in your heart
Stay loyal to your friend
Even when things fall apart

Be kind to nature, my son,
To all creatures of this earth
It’s up to all of mankind
To bear their blessings worth

And sleep in peace, my son,
The good spirit guards your night
Wake up, wake up with dreams
And your journey will capture light
