When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains
Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
Just remember that the ideals of parenthood that you've brought into this process are probably going to be challenged by unexpected realities, and you may not always live up to those ideals. That won't make you a worse father, that will make you a human father.
And if your son has any insight at all as he grows, he'll understand, if not immediately, then as an adult.

When I overhear
my parents conversations
well I'm struck by the things they say
it seems they traded the years
for mere complications
who ever thought it could end this way
they close the door
but they can't lock it
'cause something of their childhood remains
and they've felt it before
when the man in their pocket
counted the cost of their material gains
Children say - come what may
be strong for the friends you've known
but one fine day - (not) far away
will we remember the love we used to own
Children say - children say
we open our minds as one
as one more day slips away
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

BTW, I think most Thelemites are too weird to turn into their parents. Weird is good.
