HELLO! DAD
It has been quite awhile since last I saw your smile,
I remember you back there on a cool, Fall day, you could not stay.
Seven years old this boy, a dad not so old, you should have stayed home,
I say hello in a most different way, not the way it was when I sat on your lap,
Not the same as when we went to the park, watched television before bed.
My thoughts are of a yesterday before you could no longer say hello,
A vegetable garden recalled, model airplanes together, medals I held.
A flag that has disappeared, material belongings lost with the years,
What I have left are some pictures, your words written, and memories,
So, I thought I would take a moment to say hello! dad, you are not forgotten.

parents,… even god himself cannot replace them
Actually if you are to think, God is none other but a ever loving father that sent his son for a mission. And yes we are all equal in his eyes, we inherit our parents love devotions and yes no matter what their negative side.
So true
Thank you so much
