Notes About The Poem

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. 

Dad

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
