The majestic image of a lion…peaceful and serene
Held still by the artist and his skillful touch
A painting on the canvas I
Etched in flesh upon my chest
…the ink is forever a part of me.
The beauty of a small child…inquisitive and loving
Myself, a child not long ago
The threads woven into lives beyond my own
So proud I step through fatherhood
…immortality is forever a part of me.
The thoughts within my mind...content to flow unnoticed
Dance before my waking eyes and bravely face translation
Though some find lives in shades of black
Few dine amongst my greatest treasures
…the banquet is forever a part of me.
The crossroads I have stood upon...firm feet amidst conviction
To clothe the journey made in haste
The compass holds steady the map to navigate tomorrow
So I alone may own the road I travel on
…each footstep forever a part of me.
