You walk beside them
You feel.....they have always been there
Yet..... when you meet them,
You realize they never meant to be there
Says my dear old dad
"That does not mean they are bad,
just because it makes you sad
It sure does make you mad
atleast you know where you stand........ "
"You ought to be glad
For where you stand
As life may not always be fair
So bury the potholes with fresh sand
Difficult as I try...
It does make a difference....
To look beyond people for what they are
for perception is from what you hear
which may be different from what they are"
Ignorant about a zillion things
Innocent about a few more
Somehow with dad around
Everything lost seems found
A guidng force....filled with cheer.
A support system ....always near
Reassurance ....crushing all my fear
A soulful figure.....so pure and clear
Dynamic, Strong, fearless, honest
Simplicity and intelligence at its best
I simply cannot cease to thank God
For having blessed me with someone so dear!
Pa - you simp
ly are the Best!!!!!
