Father’s Day

I will never forget the day,

That you suddenly went away.

I never knew that it could come so quick,

You were never ever even sick.

I was merely a boy, barely eighteen,

No experience, still so green.

Just starting to learn from you,

The things in life I had to do.

Why hadn’t I listened before,

Thinking you just a big ole bore.

Now I try to copy the way,

You got things done every day.

If I could have one more chance,

To learn from you, life’s big dance.

I would appreciate every moment we had,

Because I love and miss you, Dad.
