He's the Dearest

HE’S THE DEAREST
    ALEX NELSON

He’s the dearest
The nearest 
The man with 
The miles
Who took 
All the hard
Times
And left us
With smiles

He’s the dearest
Not nearest
For the miles 
A long run
Yet when 
You pick 
Up the phone
The fun’s 
Just begun!

He’s the clearest
My dearest
My Dad with
No cares
Just carpet 
And some slippers
With black coffee 
Sitting there
 
He’s the always 
No hangups 
With hands 
Always tough 
With get up and
Take the time
When my enough 
Is ENough!

He’s been there 
Not did that 
Yet the length
Is a cord
Like pick 
Me up 
With slow down
AN did you see
“That's a Ford!”

He’s a long mile
A great smile 
Yet the brush
Is not new
Like way back
With all heart's
Attached
The missed 
Just a few

Like my dad
Not really sad
And happy 
All the while
Like see ya soon 
And not so
For a 1000 is
The miles

So line them up
The candle light 
With no tests
Just the rest
Like see ya
There and
You are rare 
And A
Dad 
Simple Best

He 's dearer 
And clearer
Not near 
Yet alway fine
Like up
Here and
Down there
For a son with
A dad that is
Mine

He's the dearest
