A boy without his father waits so patiently on that day
When they will finally meet face to face
But as the boy waits patiently it seems like that day may never come
And by the time the boy reaches the age of 21
The young boy will now be a man, who practices medicine all over the land
Without the necessary teachings of a father who should have come
The boy no longer waits for that precious day
Because by then the young man’s life will have changed
And the father will soon be just another face
Every second, minute, and hour to the young man is just the time added up to the years he’s been without him
With the young man walking around exploring the world any man he sees could have been the one to plant his mother’s seed
Yet he knows of his fathers’ name but has not many words to say
For if that day ever comes when they meet face to face
It just maybe too late
For the father now lies on his deathbed patiently waiting to see his son face to face
Now regretting never to take the time to visit his son
One final request the father makes to the doctor is that his son knows he loves him, and he never meant to hurt him
The doctor then replies that the man is very kind, and that he loves his father for the few minutes they just shared together before he passed.
