Today I lost
My Friend - like no other
Today I lost
My Confidant - who judged me not, but gave me that stare.
Today I lost
My Teacher - of things I did not know I needed to know or was there
Today I lost
My Father - Who accepted me truly as his own
Today I lost
My Mentor - who guided me through troubled waters
Today I lost
My Fan - of everything i tried to accomplish
Today I lost
My Drill Sargent - When I needed to be pushed
Today I lost
My Medic - To fix my wounds
Today I lost
My Dad - the man I love
In truth
so did we all
No one can replace
No one at all
The man stood for what he thought
And had a ball
3 sons
1 daughter
A wife
Is left
Grandchildren
Cousins
Sister and brother
Feel distress
Friends have lost
A friend in deed
Someone who had your back
In your moment of need.
Saint he is not
He would be the first to say
But only the good die young
And I will remember him that way.

(In Honor of my father who passed 8-17-16 )
