Dad

I wait by the door, where are you Dad?
I miss you so much! it leaves me sad.
I want to be like you; please show me how!
Without your example, my direction changed now.

I think of your power, your awesome control!
Remembering you would discipline me, then console.
I know you love me! you would bring home a toy.
But now I'm a grown man, no longer a boy.

We've often been distant, adults can change that.
Let's go to the ball park, I recall where we sat!
Love and compassion is never a fad.
A quest and a journey to be like my Dad.
