You helped an old man today, Even though you’re dead. Because of you he eats tonight Not hungry in bed. I bought his groceries without hesitation, Seeing in his face a quiet desperation. Without even thinking of you I did this. Later I realized you fed him. Thank you dad For the man you tried to make. All I have, if you were Here you could take. But you wouldn’t, You my father couldn’t. Thanks for your love. Thanks for your joy. Thanks for loving this boy. For boy I remain I with your name To live up to.
Lovely tribute to your dad! I'm sure wherever he is now, somehow he feels this love.
Thank you!
