ode to my father...

happy fathers day pa
i always wished you coulda been there for us all
but i know the choice wasnt yours
it was the cancerous cells eating away at your pores
but i dont love you any less, in fact i love you more
cuz i know it wasnt an easy chore
to have wake everyday with a burden like yours
you never believed in the hype of that fuckin folklore
of god and the devil deciding the fate of your life
and i know you were never afraid to go under the knife

you had staples lined up all across your chest
and i know it must have been such a tedious task
to hide the pain that you faced everyday
but you learned how to fake it and smile in a convincing way

and i loved the fact that you ignored the doctors orders
and continued to drive for many long hours
just to see your son and your beautiful daughter
to me youll always be more than just a father
a super hero whose only weakness was fate
and on that one june date when my life change forever
i knew youd be gone but always remembered

and i know if you seen me now pa you wouldnt be so proud
so thats why im trying to change my life around
everything i do i do it for you
and no matter what mama will say
i still wish you were here with me today....

happy fathers day.

That's nice dude. Your father sounds like a great guy.

Just remember, your dad will always be proud of you. You seem like a pretty well rounded dude.
