What my children will see

 


You will see me FAIL

Time and time again.

You will see a man that not perfect.

But yet will always be your best friend.


There are times you won't like me.

Cause I dress up like a fancy jerk.

And you ask where I am going.

And I always say "To Work".


You see me come home late.

My aches and moans reveal what was true.

And I hear you trying to be quiet.

Just so sleep can sneak a hour or two.


But what you never know is I think of you all as my sheep

And my ears are still listening even though my mind is sleep.


For the greatest sound of any of your pain.

Pull me out from under and drives me insane.

For the greatest goal parents set when you were due.

Is that nothing bad will ever happen to you.


But you will watch me FAIL

Time and time again.

Little victories to get it right.

My wisdom to the end.
