Son of Man - A Child's Poem


You brought me up
you raised me right
ghost by day
asleep by night

and when i left
west coast bound
you set me free
lost to be found

and found i was
by one like you
hard working, handsome
with a drink or two

i grew i learned
i stumbled i fell
alone again
my silent yell

alone ive walked
down that path of life
proving myself, not
like that dullish subtle knife

ill fall and fall and try again
and fight my way into the world of men
and if i fall to far to see
just know that you being you
helped me to be me
