With Clem proudly nursing a healthy seed,
His universe is now compelled with esteem –
He’s held a dream with eyes welled with steam
for his baby boy sent.
Goals that were once unreachable
Will be easier to hold by his son, Sequel…
With the focus of a needle, his goals are unequaled –
how his son rises is his main importance.
As he pinpoints options to parlay his ploys in,
This Pop’s sense is already weighing his choices –
Whether it’s academics or playing a sport,
his son’s been born for rising.
As long as he places a trailblazing torch in,
And has a career where he’s making fortunes…
There are rays in his voice when he speaks of his son’s horizon.
Lil’ Clem’s future looks bright – his Dad’s polishin’ it up.
As for as he’s concerned, common knowledge isn’t enough.
College is tough, but Jr. will be tutored to take shots
worse than Pac and Wallace.
Whether it’s for being a star athlete,
Or raising the bar for math geeks…
His path bequeathed will at least peak what his
Big Poppa accomplished.
I propose that Clem’s son will universally
Oppose the dim sun of this universe with ease.
Suppose he goes to Clemson University
– imagine the irony in that!
Clem’s son set in a place of higher learnin’
Will place a smile on his face wider than Ernest’s…
As this fire burns earnest ‘til it’s merged fervent
with his inspired son’s desire entirely matched.
Higher spires reached for in life
Ignite the ‘eye of the tiger’ seen and formed at new heights.
Whether hired or fired, such true light
is never conquered or vanquished.
This is why Clem’s investing ideas in his son while he’s young.
This is how lil’ Clem’s blessings have already begun…
As the best thing given to an evolving son,
is his father’s sanction.
