I can\u2019t see why it is, my son,
    That you and I can not agree;
The things that you consider fun
    Seem utter foolishness to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it that you fail to feel
    That folly should be bravely spurned?
The pleasures that to you appeal
    Leave me serene and unconcerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You seem to be so very blind
    To things that clearly I perceive;
I give you warning, but to find
    That you must see ere you believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I let no passion urge or sway,
    I hold myself in firm control,
But, deaf to all that I can say,
    You lightly jeopardize your soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it that you will not heed?
    Why can\u2019t you see what I behold?
I wonder if it is, indeed,
    Because you\u2019re young and I am old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
