My Dad Loved Me Forever

My Dad Loved Me Forever

I asked him why this and why that
he would smile and adjust his old hat
Answer all my questions and be pleased
with questions he could use to tease

Why do clouds have funny shapes
some look like cats others like apes
How many fish swim in a school
how big is the biggest tool

Did mom send an angel to fetch me
how many leaves on that willow tree
Are you really older than dirt
does growing up start to hurt

Will I ever grow a big dark beard
are girls always sissy and weird
Did you ever hunt with your dad
does old age make you very sad

Why did you have to die
I really need to know why
Were you happy to be my dad
does missing you ever stop being so sad?  Robert L.
