Oh, Dear Counselor
December 3, 2009
Can you, will you, dry their tears;
apologize for long past years?
Should you, could you, let them learn
honor, that it must be earned?
Would you trust them with a blade?
You will be cut by what you've made.
May you train them fighting stance;
so they force your deathdays dance?
Can you, will you, let them grow?
Must you finally let them go?
