A Father's Trust - Sonnet 1

Do it now, my son
For today shall slip away;
But if it's in your memory won
It forever there shall stay.

Do it now, my child
For tomorrow shall not wait;
Though you may think time's passage mild
Let that not your hunger sate.

Do it now, my blood
For your destiny must prevail;
And when you lie me in the mud
Beweep not my wayward trail.

For I formed you, and in you I eternally shall reside,
As a memory, hopefully, never to be cast aside.

I was not disappointed by this in the slightest, rare these days that a sonnet is created so impeccably and with a theme that is not a fabrication/rendition of shakespeare...brilliant :)

Very good piece! Usually I don't like rhyming verses, because they seem to be sing-songy and not well thought out, but this had a classical feel to it and was brimming with the sense of wisdom
