Two Daughters and a Son I had two daughters and a son Before the battle of I was won With time and waters river source My ID went racing down the course My mind was off in wonder land While dancing on the shifting sand Desire steered my ship at sea While looking for maturity I fought a war within a war To stay a worm the apples core I found there was not time enough Nor could the answer be a bluff I am but common human dust Full of fear and common lust How can I set the scale to true? With just insanity in view It seems my life a total waste I do not like the human taste It started in a water spore And still I stand the outer door I have two daughters and a son Yet cannot say the battles won |

can any of us say the battles won with ourselves and our children? I think not Reminds me of the song, "Cats in the Craddle" Yanno, we grow up with our children...we feel at the time, we must provide to give them all the advantages we didn't have, some of us try to live the dreams we didn't suceed at through our children...and yet, our children, I believe give us purpose, teachings, insight, and a warm smile inside... wonderful write, Sy... Morning  |

The war is not over until the day we die Sy, but the battle is what makes life interesting. The day we give that up, is admitting defeat. You don't strike me as one who would give in to the struggle! Sometimes, we don't give ourselved enough credit...we've already won the battle, but don't know it!  Bea |

Bea, Know thy self is the key and with that key you can open any door. But you must have the key. |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have two daughters and a son Yet cannot say the battles won ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The battle's never won my friend Until we reach the final end And even then it carries on fought by your daughters and your son For you are they, and they are you in everything they say and do With fallibility and all for none are perfect at the call Each battle fought and laid to waste There's none like all the Human taste But with two daughters and a son I'm sure for you, the wars been won! Sey, It's possible to lose ALL the battles and still win the war.... Ivor |
