Dad
I tried to write a Poem for you,
But I couldn't make it Rhyme.
I want to show my Love for you,
So I'll try it one more time.
The times when I was growing,
Though far away from now....
Remind me things you did for me,
The things you taught me how.
Your Love for other people, your
Kindness overflowed.
You shouldered so much Duty, I
Feared you would overload.
The work you did to support us
Was Hard and you Labored long.
Yet many was the Evening you
Entertained us with a Song.
You led us through the Lean years,
The Teen years and beyond.
Your Strength was always saying:
"Have Courage", "Go On".
Now as we All Grow Older,
Time together is what we need.
Life has taught us both the lesson,
Dad's can BE a Friend Indeed!
My story is almost ended....
A Poem to write you I did try.
I hope you like the effort
And it doesn't make you Cry!
"Love You Dad",
Kathy
