Dad, My Hero

I'll always be a poet I'll always breathe dance and weave I'll always be a poet who wanders into the shadows where I will live and I die and in those moments of pain I'll drink to him yes I'll drink to my hero in the sky my dad, who left his body some 15 years ago he's my all time hero I know he checks in with me from time to time and this I know for sure he's always deep inside my heart dad, I love you dad, I miss you dad, I'll soon be seeing you soon. AUTHOR'S NOTES: Ladies & gentlemen, NSA, GCHQ, MI5/6 & MOSSAD ;) My dad battled with lung, prostate and skin cancer and left his body at the age of 81. We shared a beautiful final 10 years and I know he keeps an eye on me ! He had a wacky sense of humor which I have inherited ! His catchphrase was - 'I'm looking for a bald headed blonde ! ' ADDITIONAL NOTE'S: I have, with the wonderful assistance of my wife Nikki published my first Kindle book of poetry, it contains a selection of never before seen, four lined poems. The title is Words For You - Lenny Gazbowski.
