Son To Father

When I was just a kid, I’d watch you dress in blue. Knowing that someday, I’d be just like you. When you’d leave my eyes brimmed, And quickly started to stream. I idolized you in everyway, And wanted to live your dream. Now that I am older, I realize I’m like you. Polishing my badge, And walking in your shoes. I think about your words, While filling in my blotter. I’m pleased to be like you; The pride of son to father.
