ODE TO MY DAD
My father was a man of very few words
Never looking backward but always working towards
A life for his children filled with hope and contentment
And he sacrificed a great deal to meet this commitment.
As kids we sometimes never understood his reasons
But he taught us to be strong and make the right decisions
Now that we have grown up we can understand more clearly
All that he taught us and we love him so very dearly.
Our only regret, and this is so very sad
Is that we were a little too late to say thank you dad
But I am sure he is listening and he will hear
How much we all love him and he will always be near.
