You bought books for
our mini library,
The seeds for the
love of my poetry,
Your investment for
our family,
//
Thanks for
introducing me Tolkien,
I didn’t need
director’s commentary,
You guided me to what’s
important,
Thanks for making me
nerdy,
//
I know we didn’t have
much money,
But we didn’t need
all the luxury,
You took me to the
DBKU library,
Every day I had a new
story,
//
Every time I see a
man holding his child,
My mind replays the
episodic memories,
Kids, when you get
released to the wild,
Talk to him, when
you're happy or in misery
I miss you Dad,
I miss you
