Poem
Father you have taught me many things Like how to hurt alone because you won't talk to me Father I still learned your lessons I did it from a distance because a man must learn by paying attention right I tell everyone the lessons you taught. Me I even make up clever analogies', ones I bet You would of used to teach me if I wasn't So good at learning from watching you Father I have come so far why are you so distant And why are you so angry did I not learn well at all I stayed out of your way and now years later I Pick you up when you fall and im patient with you As you blame me for some things to take peoples Attention of the confusion your unsure of who you are Father I want so bad to remind you of who you are Every time I pick you up your pride is hurt and I want to Tell you it's OK through the actions I show which I. Learned from watching you but you just get aggravated Father is it true that you never was teaching me a thing That maybe I was in your way and thats why you didn't Talk to me Father im sorry for not being the way you wanted me But I still learned many lessons and now I have Taught some to. No matter how bad you screw me up I will still be here for you because that's what seperate Us. I will be a good man with nothing to show Another lesson you taught. Me the world is cold Then you took my jacket my boots and hair I cant seem to get to you but I am right here Last lesson dad im your son I will be ok I will miss you You taught me how to live and showed me how to die Today I show with pride what of you is left behind
