yes it does seem that way, but, from his fathers point of view, its more maturing. i don't think he will ever be an unhappy sole. sometimes just growing in life, slows us for a second to look around and not get lost. it makes me happy that he's not afraid to share the ups and downs. this advice will help others too.
Edit: Oh, I see. I don't know, it seems the poem is more hyperbole than literal. While you should certainly acknowledge that others are capable of making mistakes and letting you down, it's not as dire as the poem states that you simply cannot rely on others.
never tired of your optimism. just glad to see you realize sometimes life throws blocks in the way. you have always been a very optimistic person and don't always acknowledge those blocks. at almost 30, i think this was the first time i ever heard you voice the blocks. just a dad watching his son grow in life. very satisfying. love you

Or perhaps it is?
Certainly for me it is hyperbole. I suspect my dad is most proud of the first quatrain.
When you are as optimistic as I am, sometimes a down-to-earth dad can get tired of inflated expectations.
