Poem

So many things I want to tell you my Dad
But I choke up in tears feeling awfully sad,
I grew-up so fast since the day you died
Pledging urgently to do well as tears dried.

Don't recall listening to anything you said
Never took trash out, never made my bed, 
You asked me to study, keep up my grades
Instead I focused on video games I played. 

To earn my badges, we went on scouting trips 
Soon after, I stopped going to their meetings.
You will be proud Dad, now I have some clout
I honored your will becoming an Eagle Scout.

Remember the day when we played baseball 
You stole second base ahead of my fast ball.
Recalling happy times with love and might
We miss you so much at dinner every night. 

I have aced my grades in science and  math
Well on my way to choosing a career path,
I'm proud to tell you Stanford accepted me
On a full scholarship I'll complete my degree.

I was so self absorbed, always feeling mad
I never told you how much I love you Dad.
I wish to be just like you, but can never be
Standards you set are so high to achieve. 

I have taken a job to help Mom pay the bills
We watch every penny avoiding the thrills.
Mom will visit you soon, she's well as can be
Please let her know you're so proud of me!
