No…
You are NOT like the rest, yet it is BECAUSE you try your best,
this earth, you were destined to defend, though I know it is hard to comprehend.
Your abilities go so far, but can't you see that it's who you are?
You are my only son, and I've never been more proud of what you have become…
>
And that is a person of great strength…
One who will go to enormous lengths,
A hero who believes he can…
And a boy…
…who has become a man.
>
Between the thumping of your heart, you have both awakened and found,
The spirit of warrior, that can no longer lay sound…
Once unleashed, it continually pounds,
There is a thirst for battle… without any bounds!
>
In your fight with Cell, you were put to the test,
Yes, I helped… but you did the rest.
Who am I kidding?… you did it all!
And for the first time ever… you watched your old man fall.
>
Gohan…
>
Though it was hard, you learned that I wouldn't be around forever,
And yet, the earth couldn't be entrusted to anyone better.
My death may leave you hurt, and ever wondering, "why",
But I don't want any tears, not even a good-bye…
>
Because I do not know when,
but someday, we will meet again
You're earth's protector, for a given time,
And though it won't last, everything will be fine…
>
Because nothing lasts forever,
So have a good run…
But one thing that will never change,
Is my pride in calling you
…son.
