Sixteen Just Arrived
But Soon Will Away
Where Tomorrows
Become Yesterday

A Grown Man, Now
Who Makes His Dad Proud
Sentiment, I’ve Too Seldom
Stated Aloud

But You Made Me Better
Right From The Start
The First Born Bloom
In This Father’s Heart

Up Ahead, All Those Dreams
Await Being Found
And If Bravely Sought
Good Fortune Will Abound

These Achievements, Unlock
But Don’t Grade By The Letter
True Success Is The Degree
That You Make The World Better

If The Journey Is Fraught
Stay Vigilant, Tread Right
Where Other Sparks Falter
You Must Be The Light

Lay Siege To Those Demons
Without And Within
However Dark Is The Night
Be Assured… Light Will Win
