To The One True Poet

First off I would just like to say thank you for being a father
Even when I was a ragamuffin
You taught me lessons
Stubborn and a bother
You showed me how to be a father
Showed me mercy
With undiluted messages
Which I was hard to hear
Being hard headed
Throwing rocks and sometimes throwing stones
To tell me what's wrong with you son get right
Giving me chances
While I was worrying about chasing payments
And
Making worldly advancements
You stayed with me
Maybe I wasn't too far off the path
I don't know
I'll let my Father do that math
I did some things that would make an angel mad
But my Father forgives me and shows me when he's mad
You told me as long as I take care of my people
I will always have my throne
Thank you for never leaving me alone
With the darkness surrounding me
You gave me a way to break free
Me being me
I just fall into the same thing
Not because I didn't know anything
I just wasn't shown anything
Until I matured
Now I realized
That I'm sure
That your love is pure
You got me to this point
I know you'll be here forever more
As I continue down this road
With untitled closed doors
I know you're with me with your book of poetry
Thank you for being fatherly &
Showing me how to be
