Oil Fields

Oil Fields
 Too many long hours in the day.
 Many hard days under the sun and in the rain.
 After so many years, I now understand.
 You worked a hard job on the land.
 I don’t thank you enough.
 With iron you have to be tough.
 Sun up oil and dirt.
 I appreciate all your time as I observe.
 Sorry for leaving you behind.
 You have impacted my life.
 You have always been someone I could talk to.
 You’ve influenced me to work hard, so true.
 I still miss the old house in a small town.
 The good old days lost and found.
 Wewould go fishing on the weekends.
 Thanks for taking time to listen.
 From father to his son.
 Through blood we are one.
 Weboth look the same.
 I think about you every day.
 A hard man's life in the oil fields.
 You can finally rest in the green fields

Nice tribute to a hard-working, dedicated father, Charles.
