Hello Dad

Cool waters of the lagoon 
bobbing a bit due to the waterfall
I stick my hand in and smile
it is exactly as I remembered it
my own little place, private.

Where my dad and I used to sail.
I steady my boat and dive in.
No waters are ever as comforting as these waters
there is a mystical feeling surrounding me now
Hello Dad, I say, feeling his presence.

Lovely, poignant piece honoring your dad. He must have been a fine, fine father.

He really was one of the sweetest people I have met in my entire life and I have met a lot of people.
