It's been almost 25 years and I still miss him every day
My Father's Love
September is a hard month for me
Visions of my father is all I see
Missing him more than words can say
One more day I wish he could stay
In my heart forever there
Many times I took his dare
Only to get the hand of shame
Because I knew I was to blame
Those life lessons I learned well
Long before my head could swell
Nothing ever got past him
For me it was either sink or swim
The kid I was learned to respect
The adult I am can recollect
Happy, sappy, good or bad
My father's love was ironclad
