I AM A FATHER

I am a father
My children I love.
Yet for life
And freedom
I must hold myself away.

I am a father
I care for my kids.
Yet to make them strong
To make them brave
I must be distant.

I am a father
My family is all.
Yet they must be warriors
To fight and die
And I must stand apart.

To teach them to give their all,
To teach them to fight to the end,
To teach them total devotion,
To teach them to save the world...
I must keep myself apart.

No matter
how
much
it
hurts.
