Dad


Even though fathers might all seem similar in some ways
They are actually all different as are cats and bears
Or even pirates and trees regardless of hidden fees

When working in the woods
Dad was a bear and a force to be reckoned with
But like a famous man, “he preferred it nice and peaceful”

 He liked to be on the go as the winds did blow 
On some Father’s Days I would say 
“Yo ho Yo ho” we shall go wherever we go
                                                         
 My thought eventually became
I do not want to relocate any more 
But Dad, the good man that he was
Kept us on the go until the end
                                                              
 I eventually got my wish 
Like a fish eventually gets a hook
And every Father’s Day, I think of Dad
