Dad

Dad

Dad in the ground 
There is not even a sound 
Up to his chin he is 
The days of sin were his 
He lays in worms and wood
That cannot be understood 
The clock ticked over too fast 
For the man with a past 
A man of infinite love 
With peace he rests above 
Dig into the dirt today 
Bring out the book to pray for 
Dad in the ground 
There is not even a sound

My dad still alive Tony don’t worry 
but days are close with old age
and illness; makes me sad. 
Thank you ?

Like you my dad is still with me, Jai. But he's 80 and battling stage 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease.
He has been conveying his life to me over the telephone and made me promise to write his memoirs after he's gone.
I've learned a lot of things about my dad I'd never known before in doing so.
I consider that a great honor.
Here's hoping you and your father have many more good years together.
