Know Your Wood
No one makes a baseball bat out of balsa woodOr a toy glider out of white ash
Neither wood is better or worse than the other
Balsa is just not meant to slam a baseball
And an ash glider will not soar like a balsa one
Each type of wood is better suited for some uses
Than for others
The wise craftsman knows this
And works the wood accordingly
As wood is suited
So are we all gifted
To some things more than others
Why, then, do fathers try to make doctors
out of artists
Stock brokers out of carpenters
Ball players out of software programmers
Fathers, know your wood
And work it wisely
