Ichabod

At this time you have not
seen the light or darkest days
You and I are much alike
in what we do and what we say

So many questions
so little answers
That nervous patience
eels like you’re the only one

I swear beyond my words
to protect you when in need
I won’t back down or retract my fight
to make sure that you succeed
There might just come a time
when you need a helping hand
I’ll be right there waiting for you my son
next to you I stand

When it’s my time to go
do not grieve in fear
Take your Mother’s hand for me
and thank her for all those years
