Flesh of my flesh be not the enemy of mine
Tear not into one another over little things
Fight only when it's necessitated and it's fine
For not everybody you cross will bring glad tidings
---
Life will not offer you everything you wanted, son
But at the end, if you're patient, it delivers what's deserved
Dig deep and hard, give it your all and try to have fun
Remember not to lose your track, even if you swerved
---
Rest not until the strength wains inside your frame
Life is forever to be too short for the travelers desire
Treat every adventure as if you're winning the game
Cross no bridges that you once set completly on fire
---
Take time to stop and smell the roses aromatic scent
Worry not of things that are done by others and out of your reach
For you'll learn enough lessons along the way, and time's better spent
If you can manage to remember my mistakes, and what I'd tried to teach
---
Take not for granted, as nothing worth having is worth losing
Appreciate each opportunity you stumble upon along the way
Try not to let your guard down carousing and boozing
Unless you've already gone out, been lucky, and won the day
---
Fret not your broken hearted soul right now
For that was only number two in the line of the loves you'll share
It may seem impossible, but someday you'll understand how
And again, you'll learn, that it's alright to care

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
