Son, See You On Life’s Sandy Shore
Well, son, let me tell you:
Life is no waterfall.
It’s got stings & serpents,
And all manner of scorpions.
You will often feel locked up
And trapped in a jail cell
Totally bare!
But every time know
My eyes are on you ever so.
I’m watching you
Turning boulders over for you
Venturing on your behalf into the unknown
Where no light can be seen
You will nevertheless see me.
So boy, don’t you turn your back on me.
Don’t give up on the steps of this life
Til we’re on the sandy beach
On the sun-kissed shores
Love surrounding us forever more!
[Today’s poem is inspired by Langston Hughes]
