Father’s Day pt1

You gave me $1,000
When I turned 18
That’s my first memory of you
But can $1,000 answer
All these questions I have?

Can $1,000
Buy all the memories we never had?
Can it buy learning to ride a bike,
Or my first razor,
My first kiss,
Can it?

Can $1,000 buy time,
Learning new things,
Learning to fish or to build,
Can it buy time spent,
Watching movies or building LEGOs,
Can it?

Can it buy watching me perform,
Watching me win
Or comfort for when I fail
No, it can’t
