Not an easy thing
to be the father of sons.
Inevitably, you must
disappoint them;
inevitably, they must
turn away from you.
Embrace the necessity
of this distancing.
Do not become
an impediment
to the world
they must inherit,
the world that
you can never know.
Be joyful.
Trust that what
you have planted
will flourish
beyond your reach.
Dream the futures
you will never see.
