He asked his father,
What can I do?
It feels like check mate,
I’ve tried everything,
I feel as though,
The weight on my shoulders
Is crippling me now.
Do I lay down?
And let the current sweep me away?
And allow the weight of the tide
To pull me down?
He said to his son,
What is unwavering faith and boldness
And persevering despite doubt?
The son replied I don’t know.
His father replied,
It’s to not know,
And still believe, despite reason.
It’s to say, I don’t understand,
But father I know you have a way,
And I won’t stop nagging,
Until my promise is fulfilled,
And my mission is complete.
