Free Cee a Dad and a Dove Who Died When Their Mate Did I Miss You Dad

This was written in 2009.....I never gave it to him: IF ONLY I HAD BEEN MORE LIKE HIM A man of infinite intellect told me to start thinking about thinking And believe me that his is indisputable intelligence The only problem is too much of the time I am thinking about drinking Or doing the distinctly dishonest thing with duly deemed diligence So I decided to write these words for no good reason at all The only reason for scribing this is because I felt it was what I was supposed to do I’ve discovered it’s difficult to think when you’re banging your head on a wall And thinking about doing the right thing, to me, is a concept too brand new So I am sitting here thinking about thinking with dedication Yet with perseverance I am perceiving the dark and the dim This man of infinite intelligence spoke words with an important implication And I am also thinking about my father and how advantageous it would be if I were more like him Jeff! Too late now, sadly

Sad... too late for some things, certainly, but perhaps not too late to be 'more like him'... Terry
