Stand

Hard things made right

Can lead a man into the light.

But when those things are left undone

A wayward soul will begin to run.

So, look your son in the eye

help him face that simple lie.

Have him stand on his own two feet

And in his stead a Man you'll meet.

we absolutely have to let our children grow up...we cannot hide them, protect them, shield them forever or they will never stand on their own two feet.
