Dear father br you've entrusted me with this gift br and though my life may not be perfect br i promise to use it br you've giving me the ability to write br and for that i ask you guide my endeavors br I've seen many try and succeed br so i will try br may my lyrics influence the mind of the younger generation br and may i be immortalized not in flesh br but in mind and heart br not only in the heart of my family br but the heart of many long after am gone br may my poems be set as the floor bored br of a generation as i lay emotion br far from anything that i can show br into writing.
