I wish I had--

I wish I had
been kind to Dad

Mostly I tried...
but left him mad

I wanted him
to be less sad

I would prefer
to make him glad

Buy him new shirts
perhaps in plaid

However he
likes to be clad

Make him proud of
my college grad.

A time machine
would be so rad

I could go back
and be less bad

And most of all:
more kind to Dad
