Father to Son

When I was a child
I would pray with my father
After lighting incense
My eyes would close
And I would think
And I would hope
For peace
For happiness

Now I am a parent
And my child prays with me
After lighting incense
My eyes close
And I think
And I hope
For peace
For happiness

But now
I pray that for my son
And I look back
And wonder
If that's what my father
Prayed for me
