My Dad, My Friend
My Dad was the best
He was there when I needed him most
He was my best friend
He helped me through hard times
He loved me no matter what
We would go for rides together
We would catch at least one
Florida Gator baseball game
in the spring time for awhile
He was my movie buddy
The movies mom didn’t want
to see we went and saw
I remember all the trips to
the mountains to stay in a
cabin in Northern Georgia
All the trips to the Blue Ridge
Skyline Drive and Great Smokies
We went as far north as Niagara Falls, Canada
When I was in school my Dad
was my math tutor
He was good in math
But I definitely wasn’t
I remember when I liked to
watch a lot of ice skating
My Dad got tickets to
an ice skating event with
Scott Hamilton
I enjoyed even though
we were in the nose bleed section
My Dad wasn’t perfect
But he was still awesome to me
He was my best friend
And I will forever remember him
Love you Dad
I’ll see you again in paradise
