If not already someone's....

.

When he was 

young

he scribbled

lyrical and lyrics 

after his father

had read 

and understood

the words and worries

he offered

freely to publish 

the collection

of this son

.

Yet this son 

assessing his works

declined gently

and then changed

course

not dropping out

but ignoring

brush and pen

for years

in favour of

gainings

and position

.

As time aged

so did he

retiring early

free from want

and weight

lifting a brush

wielding his pen

searching for

talented kindred

some able to

write

their heart out

.

Children

of someone

that could

write so exquisitely

pungent perhaps

even cruel

genius recognized

endowment

he would adopt

these adepts

if not already

someone's

.

Yet even better still

from experience

he'd learned

let them be

their own

as I am

.
