Thank You Dad.

Goldfinch60



Today is that day,

That day twenty eight years ago,

That day when my Dad died.

One of Nature’s gentlemen

And a very gentle man.

He brought respect to me,

And showed me the polite way in life,

Nothing was forced on me.

 

Apart from being Father and Son

We were very good friends.

But the most important thing,

The most important thing he gave me

Was my love of music,

Because of him I have listened,

Listened to music ALL my life.

My appreciation of music is unbounded

Sometimes when I am listening to music

He is sitting next to me.

I often think of him,

And many times when I look in a mirror

I see my Dad.

 

So thank you Dad,

Thank you for all you did for me,

My appreciation even at my time of life

Remains unbounded

And will never change.

Thank you Dad.

              In this I see mirrored my own father who taught me a love for music as well. He a very conservatives outward shell was liberal underneath and taught me to love all types of music of all genres. A wonderful tribute
