This poem I wrote many years before...

for the most important person in my life... My Dad....
I really dont know what I would be without him....Lost I guess..
Its really a touching poem which I never shared with anyone until now...
Hope you all will love it....


As soft winds sweep away the days
I look back on life through a haze.
Remember playgrounds, parks and friends,
In childlike gaze that never ends.


The laughter in a game of catch,
Shall memory ever attach...
To innocence in youthful eyes,
Catching the ball to Dad's surprise.


I recall my first bike, first wreck,
Who picked me up, said "What the heck?"
Convinced me to give one more try,
While, knees skinned, I forgot to cry.


Just the joy knowing he was there,
Making him proud my only care.
There was nothing I couldn't do,
My heart held fast that to be true.


Though teenage years were kind of rough,
I sure wasn't too big or tough.
You taught me to defend what's right
And never back down from a fight.


So I learned the hard way to stand,
Still with each lump, I found your hand.
Drawing from you an inner strength,
And stubborn pride of equal length.


Please, Dad, today just hear my call,
I'm sorry that I dropped the ball.
My life is wrecked, my knees are skinned,
My emotions undisciplined.


I can't get up although I try,
Please don't be upset if I cry.
Though I can't fight what I can't see,
Please, Dad, say you're still proud of me....
