Dad

The person who gave me life like watering a flower No one is perfect from being sweet to sour Tears come and go like endless waterfalls Memories treasure our past to shattering walls From shaking hands to fading skin and letting pictures breeze Sunday church of good news and praying on your knees Travel every hour just because you care And from snapping on each other and saying that I won't have hair Ghetto love and puertorican hugs to drowning in our floods Angels watching over us and sleeping from above Little kids create some smiles for us to have forever A million miles away from my family wishing to be together From curses to bible verses invisible pain hurts from worst From apple faces to shadow tears that makes us want to burst Nasty crashes to itching rashes that bring us closer like two I'm your son, your my father something that always grew
