As I grow older
I see my shadow changing
into my father’s

I always said i would never be an old fuddy duddy. That I would always be the cool dad...but life has its own plans, I guess. I think it's a good thing.

Thanks Bill. I remember when i was a teenager, I could have swore that I was adopted. It seemed like I was so different. But age has definitely proven that theory wrong.

Dear, Jerry, this had a very nice twist that I enjoyed. A very thought provoking piece that genetically can repeat. - Blessings, Daniel
