Background:
In a hospital, a father is laying on his deathbed and decides to use the little strength he has left to give his son a letter to read before he(Dad) takes his last breath.
Letter:
Do not be scared
I am here beside you
Without fear or doubt
From North to South
I'll always be here
To guide
you
I love you so much, I swear
It's hard to explain
How I care
Our father+son bonds
Will be hard to bear
But this is the bond
We will share
I'll pass on the torch one day
And on that day
There will be nothing to say
Because the lessons I taught you
Will be in your heart
There will be no reason
To stay
There's nothing you'll be but glad
Because I gave you
The life I never had
Because you are my son
And I am your Dad
