Have the audacity to Conduct yourself graciously I resent your ability to Rest comfortably at night My sight is dim Your view of clarity By the time you return A desperate phone call I'll be the oldest father alive Able to survive those hallowed Wars with despair Enveloped with one regret I failed to turn your head Not from disgust But from insatiable wonder.
