Best Rondeau
Dad I am here all through the day
Standing here just inches away
You want family by your side
Saying kids, the source of your pride
Somewhere outside they roll and play
Please go run out,show them the way
Before sun’s out and sky turns gray
I smile but tears are hard to hide
Dad I am here
As I pour medicine you say—
Hey nurse, bring me my girl today
She loves junk food, salty and fried
Your eyes become mushy and wide
Please God, show me to him, I pray
Dad I am here
