Ode to My Three Sons

Ode to My Three Sons

by Alex S. Gabor

Daddy went off to war
To fight within himself
The demons that he found
Were his true enemy
The only enemy that can ever exist
Though he looked far and wide
He could find no enemy greater
Than his own weaknessess
That stood brazenly shining against the standards
That the demons held so high
For Daddy sought perfection
Outside himelf
In love, in sports, in competitive business pursuits
And in all this he was lost, and lost again and again and again
Each and every battle he fought
And forgot that he was a Daddy
And now a grand daddy
And some day a great grand daddy
To those who come after his three sons
And after 50 years of battles, some won, too many lost
Daddy lost the war with him self
And in the process found only two things
That truly mattered in his life
The infinite and love
Love and infinite love
With love he forgave all his and your sins
With the infinite he conquered all his weaknesses
With infinite love his enemies surrendered
With the infinite he gained immortality
With immortality he entered the eternal infinite
Remember then your father my three sons
Remember that Daddy lost the war but won more
Remember that love is infinite
Remember that the infinite is in you
And you are always loved and in the infinite
Just remember it always.
