as a child
you opened the world to me
you gave me parrells to work with
& new ones to explore
to find my own conclusions
that bend & never ends.........
as a child,
you picked me up
& wiped the tears away
so many many times
sometimes with scraped knees & elbows
you kissed them
to make the hurt go away.........
as a teenager;
you let me learn
to draw my own conclusions
you never said;
you are wrong
you let me make those mistakes
on my own........
as an adult,
I see a man
who is now a little smaller than me
I know it's normal for any person
to have anger, frustration, dispair
Dad always has a smile to give
a twinkle in his eyes............
every evening & sometimes
more then once a day
one of us calls the other
to say; Hi I love you
which makes my day

As always,
you give me
your love
unconditional

Thank you dad!!!
