Both of my parents have been gone, many years. If I didn't think of them on MOtehr's Day and Father's Day, those days would, basically be meaningless. And on one Fatger;s Day, having already writeen a poem about my mother I thought, I might as well write one about my father. I had many good times with him. And sometmes, when I think of my parents, I have unanswered questions, which will have to forever be, unanswered.

Even though fathers might all seem similar in some ways They are actually all different as are cats and bears Or even pirates and trees regardless of hidden fees When working in the woods Dad was a bear and a force to be reckoned with But like a famous man, “he preferred it nice and peaceful” He liked to be on the go as the winds did blow On some Father’s Days I would say “Yo ho Yo ho” we shall go wherever we go My thought eventually became I do not want to relocate any more But Dad, the good man that he was Kept us on the go until the end I eventually got my wish Like a fish eventually gets a hook And every Father’s Day, I think of Dad
