He left, the rebellious one
With his share of father's estate
To squander in a foreign land.
Home, I stayed
As the good son
Obedient to father's instructions.
He returned to repent
From a life outside home
And father accepted him as son.
I, on the other hand
Slaved off in Father's house
Trying hard to impress him.
