DadDAD
One day, at the age of 6
My daddy didn’t come home.
Mama said
“now don’t you cry, son.
It’s better he be gone”.
I said, hey mama, well I disagree.
At least from where I stand.
My mother said “I hear you son
But you’re too young to comprehend”
So I crawled to my bed
It was lonely and cold
And my heart...

Oil FieldsOil 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...

His Reflection"You are just like your father."
These words ring in my head constantly,
Haunting me as I stare into the mirror.
I cannot bring myself to love the reflection I see—
The image of the man who excels only
At inflicting pain.
I ask myself: Am I bound to the same fate as him?
To hurt the ones I love? To drive...

In-between worldsTake me down the cobbled path
Where moss and grasses grow
Sink my heels in dampened sand
Where oceans ebb and flow
Let the breeze sweep through my lips
The sunshine warm my skin
Let the dew drops gently fall
Where mornings will begin
Dance me though the scattered corn
And twirl amongst the stars
Let the rain splash down the stream
To the world...

The MinivanThere are places that I have got to go.
I’ve got my tunes cranked on the radio
Playing “Wild Thing” while the kids all sing along.
It may not be a “Magic Carpet Ride”
But it will comfortably seat eight inside.
Well, to heck with what the culture says, I am right where I belong…
I’m the epitome of...

A Day with DadA day with Dad -
he got tickets to watch some ball.
A day with Dad -
a great time for this lucky lad,
held captive in his father's thrall.
A better time I can't recall -
a day with Dad. ...

Words From the Grave"It's all going to be okay" he would say,
with no scent of doubt in his breath,
even as its aroma reeked from mine,
as I'd blurt out "how can you be so sure?"
I never figured out what made my dad so positive in life,
though I'm positively sure his life wasn't free from trial
and the upsetting...

Legs race faster
Thoughts race out of hand

Blessed Husband and DadI'm most grateful dad in this world.
Blessed with a wife 2 boys and 3 girls.
They brought meaning to my life.
I could not ask for a better wife.
Whenever I were feeling down.
God would send one of you around.
Forgive me for the times I'd overreact.
I wish someway I could get them back.
I am human just like you.
And...
