Dear Daughter,
They say I should be the guide
That’s how it’s always been
Your life—but my ride
Just follow, and I win
But what if I don’t know the way
Because the bread crumbs are long gone?
And what if I don’t play that game
So you go elsewhere for your baton?
I’ve noticed you know how to look
In places I’ve never seen
Your answers aren’t textbook
Your slate deserves to be clean
Don’t read the bottom line
As your talents that’ll restrict
You need the whole view, not mine
No stale monetary edict
You can be on a stage
In a lab or your design
No matter the age
Make your journey sublime
So which way will you go dear?
When it looks right you’ll know
And be it far or near
My heart will be aglow
Love,
Dad

My question is if this is artistic expression or real feelings! i guess both.
Haha. Yes, a little of both sounds about right.
