For Oscar On His 14th Birthday

By the grace given me one year older great is the bearer of my salvation, and I, father, keeper, and upholder glory in the sum of my creation. Follow your heart and speak its depth and scope, and let not dreams be spoken of as fear - remember to remain joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Do not spoil or vex but contrary do when this world means to oppose or revenge, be steadfast in what you know to be true and forsake what is not yours to avenge. So the fortunes of life and odyssey now begin your Age of Discovery. Written: March 2014
