</>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. <br />so your guidance is all i ask<br /><br />Robert Roberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poets-prayer-3/
