Equal Love

I stood there empty handed And I came from different blood But somehow it didn't matter You showed me equal love You taught me with great compassion Through humbleness and honesty If you'd lied I'd still be trapped inside Your truth set me free I came of age and that's all she wrote I was gone in a cloud of smoke I thought I knew all there was to know Was just enough to get by We do some things that we can't forget Life's full of love and regret But we won't know until the end Who was really wrong or right We have had some hard times Like every father and son Why did it seem so natural If it looked easy it never was Wisdom comes from aging But aging makes us weak I'll try harder to listen When you're not strong enough to speak
