Father Memoir

Ten reasons ain't enough to express
The true piety my heart have for you
One poem ain't much of a noble gift
But here's my emotions...again... anew

Father
Barbecues on a hot summer day
Escaping quickly into the cold pool
Telling jokes with Gatorade in hand
Engaged into a wise crack duel

Fun vacations planned for a week or so
Picking restaurants (that's my specialty too)
Photos together with the wind in our face
Placed in front of a splendorous view

When illness strikes during my sleep
It's you who held me till the pain went away
When sadness overcame my usual light
You smiled at me and led my tears astray

When secrets leaked, I came to you
Your wise mind thought just like me
Sympathized and advised me in truth
and with your free grin I can only agree

Words cannot explain my blessings from you
I love you father, reality and dreams too
Even through fights I know you understand
That in the very end, my heart loves you
