Father of a lamb.

As you place your head,
gently upon my chest.
The trees shall dance
with this life you produce

To only shield you,
from this world of discord
I hold you behind these doors,
to not let you see out.

And as you shake your head
your hair shall part the ocean,
To a bitter knowledge of life
For what it is to be

This ocean of knowledge
Is what I pass to you.
Sadden you it may,
but this is what I see

Though your tears may soak,
forever stained is my heart.
With this sorrow of man
your eyes shall peer into

I am your home,
your guidance though dark.
The one who shall teach,
what I am to be taught.

I be your guide
thought times of lost.
Your Shepherd of life,
you my beautiful lamb.

Shall my days come to a end,
no longer can I hold you back.
For this is the will as a father,
forever you shall be my lamb.
