Jus a Dream

If my dad can see me now He would have a smile on his face He would say look at my son Growing up into the man you see today He would take you through my life story From frame to frame And how I was poor and homeless To making more than minimum wage He would pick up my babies Kiss and hug his granddaughters Whisper to my wife and say Im glad he made a decision that was smarter Eat dinner and afterwards Watch my girls’ eye blinks get longer Help me put them in bed stand next to me and say Today we’re both proud fathers Sometimes I sit back and think What it would be like if he was here standing next to me We would get a beer of the frigerator He would tell me im his best recipe The wind blows hard and fast And I noticed no longer was he next to me The pain hit me like a kick Then I realized it was just a dream
