Dear David, This is a wonderful poem. The marvelous wisdom of the son is a fantastic ending. Once I read: there is not any snakebite that kills. It is not the bite that is dangerous to our lives. It is the venom that runs around in our veins that kills us. So is it with hatred. If we allow the venom of hatred to run around in our veins and brains, it will continue to damage us. Whatever happened (whichever bite) will heal if we stop the venom. What a great message in your poem! What a great son!
Scars run deep; forgiveness? It is cathartic and the finer attribute of the better man. Nice poem.
If in the end there is forgiveness and reconciliation, How wonderful the world would be.
