Somewhere along the line, you changed, Stranger,
* * * * * * * *
I’m not surprised to see you stooped being you. Many adventurers have let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. No doubt you’ve heard about how the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Some say that you, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you’re hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.That’s how winning is done. I don’t know if I believe that, but if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. They gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Maybe it’s nothing. But cowards do that and that ain’t you. You see, You’re better than that! But until more evidence is uncovered I’m always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens you’re my son and you’re my blood and You’re the best thing in my life. However, until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life. But if you’re still alive before then, don’t forget to visit your mother.
