Sep 2021
Dull grey eyes
Speckled stubble.
Haunched silently.
Awkward and Shakey
Inept and antiquated
He swaggers
Pigeon toed
His walker creaks
Customized
With two tennis *****   .
Chilli on his chin
Elastic trousers bunched
Pulled up way to high.....
Back in the day .........
The greatest Man I've ever seen.
That will never change
Not to me ....
Not to anyone
Evev though  He's gone now

My best friend
My

DAD
!
HE LIVED LIFE LIKE TIME WAS A CURRENCY
AND HE NEW EXACTLY THE COST
KNEW WHO TO SPEND IT ON AND
IM LOST WITHOUT HIM
.
IF I COULD BE HALF THE MAN YOU WERE DAD
ID BE TWICE THE MAN I AM TODAY....
BUT I WOULD STILL MISS YOU THE SAME


Life
precarious
no
gratuitous
guarantees)
