Fathers & Sons

By D.K. Parker

It is an amazing relationship between fathers and sons.
Love and frustration wrapped into a collective of emotions
Both the father and son are right and wrong at the same time

They are best friends and adversaries
Pride and the love for each other combating the innermost being of each man
Love overcomes, although is often overlooked by both

Neither admits nor accepts defeat
Each believing whole heartily that they are right
With age understanding of the others views are more understood

The son learned that his father was right
He realizes that the many lessons taught during his youth are the foundations of his life
His success can be traced to past decisions he has made, not realizing at the time it was his fathers influence

The father learned too that his son was right
Not always inline with his ideas, the son’s decisions have lead to success
The father’s legacy lives on in his son
