A Father's Words to a Treasured Son


You can reach beyond this grief,

for given to you is the gift of endurance.

The burden of sadness will never deter you,

and an indomitable spirit is a portion of your inheritance.

Your utter loneliness will make you wise,

and it's a wisdom that surpasses normal knowledge.

Although I don't see you, I hear your cries,

so keep trying.

/

Keep trusting, for great power intended for you was my last pledge.

A shroud of empty darkness will descend.

Do not fear, your determination will banish it.

Wise guides will befriend you, on them you can depend.

Strong friends will keep alight your burning need to never quit.

Due to your unyielding hope they will follow you.

/

You have come for such a time as this,

when the storm rages you are the only one to believe.

Your tenacity will save the darkest heart, and bring back what used to exist .

Reflect, when the time comes, on where you came from.

Descended from heroic warriors, it is your birthright to carry the Will of Fire,

and this is what I yearn for you to become.

Don't cry for me, my highest wish of peace lives on in your desires.

You were everything we wanted,

and in the end you will become all that is needed for the people you love.
