Dear little one of mine
Today I feel right and fine
Without liquor in hand
A right state of mind
I take this pen to paper
While yet you still in diapers
I write you with the utmost discretion
While your mother pays this insane mind no attention

Follow not in my path little one
For me, my life is done
Bad decisions has been my undoing
I reflect on them as I lie on this bed musing
Take not to the bottle
Never at all after you leave the enchantment of the rattle
Take delight not in the arms of a loose woman
Be upright and a good family man

Shun not the wisdom of an educated mind
For in books, great knowledge shall thee find
My time is up and I lie here old and frail
My death shall not herald societal wail
A man of no dignity and importance
Strive to be a man of influence
Never accept to be a dreg of society
A man with fine principles of morality



Death’s winged chariot hurries near
I live with no fear
Just this emptiness that fills me and regrets
Of vain pleasures that I sought
In the days of my youth while yet in my prime
Do well so that thou may thrive
The world gives us equal opportunities
Waste yours not on frivolities
