Nothing Special for Dad

Nothing Special for Dad…


 


No special stories for or of my Dad,


To speak of him, now gone, makes me sad,


Wishing we were better friends since a lad,


Instead as it seemed we were always at each other mad…


 


Passed in eighty-nine,


Those last seven years we made out fine,


Closer we got though fights did still cross the line,


I got to pity him now, as my mom may be with him, she really was a swine…


 


So on this Dads day I bid him my love,


Though in life neither of us fit like a glove,


If he is spending eternity below or above,


I wish him well and have him know I of him think the world of…

Its those disagreements that in time bring some parents and children into a close bond in the last many years together. My father and I are like fire and ice. However in the past few years we have melted together :-) Wonderful write.

This was truely from the heart. It was sweet.
