My father's wisdom taught with grace and discipline;
instilled society's morals and standards.
"But still you are unique, conform only when you must."
As son turns 18, hearing grandpa's whispers.
Author notes
Prompt: Father and son, coming of age.
Even as a female, my father's wisdom was instilled into me, and I only hope that I have and will do a good enough job of raising my son, that he will hear the whispers of his grandfather, as he comes into his own age.
