HI
:o
As soft winds sweep away the days
I look back on life through a haze
Remember playgrounds, parks and friends
In childlike gaze that never ends
The laughter in a game of catch
Shall memory ever attach
To innocence in youthful eyes
Catching the ball to Dad's surprise
I recall my first bike, first wreck
Who picked me up, said, What the heck
Convinced me to give one more try
While, knees skinned, I forgot to cry
Just the joy knowing he was there
Making him proud my only care
There was nothing I couldn't do
My heart held fast that to be true
Though teenage years were kind of rough
I sure wasn't too big or tough
You taught me to defend what's right
And never back down from a fight
So I learned the hard way to stand
Still, with each lump, I found your hand
Drawing from you an inner strength
And stubborn pride of equal length
But there the line of fate was drawn
As though I blinked and you were gone
I found myself facing the sun
Not man, not boy, fatherless, one
Eyes blinded by a void inside
I could not live that you had died
Alas finding it to be true
I could do nothing without you
Please, Dad, today just hear my call
I'm sorry that I dropped the ball
My life is wrecked, my knees are skinned
My emotions undisciplined
I can't get up although I try
Please don't be upset if I cry
Though I can't fight what I can't see
hope u enjoy it guys and girls:ciao: :02:
Please, Dad, say you're still proud of me
