Summary: A short poem set around the time Simon left.

***The Second Son***

I know you think you know me

I am your second son

But to me I am no other

but the forgotten one.

Finding strength to guide us

is what we hold inside

When life throws us curveballs

We take it all in stride

I cannot be with you for I must

be lead astray

Far from here is where I go

I must now go away

I turn to brush the tears that

gather in my eyes

I do not want you to see me

as I hang my head and cry.

Leaving is so hard to do

But I'm sure you'll understand

That the little boy you knew

has now become a man
