For even though you
Are far away
The love I have
Has never faded
Eventually I will
Realize that being a dad
Surely is the best

**** job ever
And honestly
You were the best at it

I love you dad
being eighteen means that ive had six birthdays without you
means you never got the chance to teach me to be an adult
means im off to college
means im off to the real world
and your not in it any more
tears of my youth now drip in to my adult life
because being eighteen doesnt mean i dont love you
doesnt mean i dont miss you
because i do
and i mean that
i wanted you to watch me become  a man
i wanted you to see me off to college
to get my Eagle scout award
to have some one make me into a man instead of stumbling towards the right direction
but I love you
adult in the eyes of the law but I'll always be your  son
your little boy
and you'll always be my father
and I'll always love u

R.I.P.Steven Klocke
beloved father and friend
Even as I grow up
All I have learned
Generated from
Living as a scout
Everybody proud of me

Started when you said I
Could fly with the Eagles
Only took me 7 years
Under your wing I fly
Till the end

A tribute to my dad. The man who taught me how to fly with eagles. Ill fly with you again someday. I love you.
June 9th 2011 my eagle scout ceremony was completed with this poem in honor and memory of my father to whom i promised i would get it

— The End —
