Chapter 1 - Think Better of Me

Think Better of Me

Think better of me, Father
For I can only do the best I can
And I have
I may not be like my brother
And for this weakness
I am sorry to have caused you pain
I am only one man
And only one man can do as much
As I have

Think better of me, Father
Though I may not bend to your will
And because I am your flesh and blood
It sometimes burns me up inside
That you cast me aside

Think better of me, Father
When I return from each battle
When I return from this war
Give me respect and compassion
You are my father
I will always love you still
Please think better of me, Father
