“Hey, Dad!” My father used to say, “Same thing, only different” and I thought, “How dumb!” He spoke in paradox a twinkle in his eye his nose touching thumb. World War veteran a logger by trade his ways seemed strange. To baby boomer son seeking peace and love, he didn’t seem much of a sage. Funny thing is... the older I get the smarter he becomes. Scary thing is... his words in my mouth when teaching my sons. Looking clearly back I see his (and his) footprints wisdom passed on down. Life is so strange years flow like water who we are goes round and round. Now a word of thanks to the one who made in so many ways. Dad, I love you and I hope and pray... Happy Fathers Day! bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

A wonderful tribute to your "pappy". When young how could we possibly imagine that one day we will emulate those that we just don't understand. |

bleeding, I loved this tribute to your dad. I can relate to so much of it, via Mom. Just a beautifully written poem with warmth and love. Blessings, Marcy |

Exellant. I realize while reading this how important a father is and it stirs up quite a bit. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |
