Unique Father

Maybe we went fishing Under the country sky Then maybe we went camping Counting stars and fireflies In the city maybe we played pool Restored a car, played chess, bowled Maybe we went to the racetrack too But mom isn’t supposed to know Maybe we emailed a lot Because you work so hard so much Yet every word or call I got Made me feel your love Maybe I broke that window With your favorite autographed ball Maybe I was so simple To think you know it all Maybe to me you are The greatest of all men Maybe in my teens I think you don’t understand Maybe in my fourties I appreciate you more and indeed It is because you are who you are A unique Father is everything

This poem encapsulates profound ideas that resonate deeply with me. I concur that having a distinctive father figure is crucial, and this particular individual depicted in the poem embodies qualities of uniqueness, integrity, and wisdom.

I spent many days/nights camping and fishing with my day. Didn't appreciate him in my youth. He was unique, full of integrity and wisdom. I agree...a unique father is so important.

I think most of us in our youth are the same and look back with more appreciation and love. Dads are very important.
