Love Poem: Dad

Dad

The person who gave me life like watering a flower
No one is perfect from being sweet to sour
Tears come and go like endless waterfalls
Memories treasure our past to shattering walls

From shaking hands to fading skin and letting pictures breeze
Sunday church of good news and praying on your knees
Travel every hour just because you care
And from snapping on each other and saying that I won't have hair

Ghetto love and puertorican hugs to drowning in our floods
Angels watching over us and sleeping from above
Little kids create some smiles for us to have forever
A million miles away from my family wishing to be together

From curses to bible verses invisible pain hurts from worst
From apple faces to shadow tears that makes us want to burst
Nasty crashes to itching rashes that bring us closer like two
I'm your son, your my father something that always grew
