Dave
Reflective, questioning, introspective, introverted 
Father of Daniel
Lover of Daniel, music, and mathematics
Who feels wonder, gratitude, and sentiment 
Who fears climate change, nuclear war, and ill health 
Who would like to see a passenger pigeon, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Pentangle in concert
Resident of Seal Beach, California
Crandall

Daniel

I admit, I'm awfully proud
Of traits with which my son's endowed - 
Handsome, kind, thoughtful, wise, and bright. 
Could it be, I did something right?

Love it David! Showing your pride in your son warms my heart. I don't feel you with the T-Rex wish though! Lol. Good to know more about you!

I think I would like to see one, but only at a safe distance :-)

A nice bio and an interesting poem. That poem could be mine, except it has to change son to daughter. I'm proud of her too. Thanks for both bio and poem. Good luck with the contest.
