About My Dad

About My Dad



I wish to write to you, about my Dad,

he was the one and only, that I had.



Besides all that, he was special to me,

he was the best darn Dad, he could be.



Was he perfect? I'd have to say, not quite,

but for me, my Dad was quite alright.



Long gone from this world, he remains in me,

as an imperfect Dad, who wished he could be.



I don't judge his shortcomings, nor things left undone,

and hope my children don't either, daughters or sons.



You see, Dads are not perfect, though try like they might,

but miss them you do, once gone forever, out of your sight.



Remember the best times, remember one and all you have had,

for the best times remembered, keeps you ever, close to your Dad.
