empty eye's
wonderin' why's
life passed you bye's

best you can do
is what you do

sit & eat
each day you greet

with the same old
same story told

walk from here to there
then it's your wheelchair

sit & eat
each night you meet

best you can do
is what you do

me too

empty eye's
wonderin' why's
life has passed us bye's

Hi Steve:

I hate to say it - "This is the first poem from you that I don't like." - even though I know this is probably how you feel about your dad.

I hope you won't write about him like he's your biggest burden, be thankful that he's still alive and is keeping you company. I guarantee you'll miss him a whole lot when he's gone.

I've just lost an uncle just before Christmas, whom my 6 cousins probably didn't particularly cared for, but they're now feeling the loss of not having him around. You'll feel the loss of your dad too when the time comes.

Just be kinder toward him during this time...
