1
what to do, or not to do
about your heritage –
when everyone around you reads
and books are stored in every room
and maybe your genetic code
says: read, yes read thou more!
2
everything you’ve got
you’ve got from
the father’s
and everything you’ve earned
you’ve earned by
your own toil
every single day
of your life
you walk a fine line
between the two –
3
this is earth,
my little son
this is the home
of the living
this is the soil
of the dead
this is a point
of no return –
someday you’ll fly
on soaring wings,
I give you my breath
my time as a flying school
because
someday my arms won’t hold
your dreams, your hopes, your faith
no more
and then, my son:
remember your heritage, remember the
ground
from which
you fly
and take refuge in the shadows
of your Father’s cross,
under bigger wings and greater love
where your soul can fly free!
