"Love like your father"
So I'll love as strong as his wrists
And as sweet as his wink
And as long as his hair

I'll love as tender as his smile
And as melodious as his laugh
And as diligent as his discipline

I'll love as smart as his opinions
And as loud as his whistle
But still as imperfect as his bent fingers

I'll love as open as his front door
And as giving as his hands
And as keen as his judgement

I'll love like he loved LSU
And fried chicken
I'll love like he loved his tractor
And watching birds

I'll love how he loved my mother  
And Jesus
I'll love like he loved the ones he didn't like
And those who didn't deserve it

I'll love because my father loved
He taught me to love by loving me

"Love like your father"
And so I'll love like my father does
Rip daddy
