Love Poem: Sunday Evening

Sunday Evening

Sunday evening
The needle strikes the vinyl and the music haunts my ears
Dads favourite
About a boy called 'Charlie' 
A tale of a boy about to lose his father
His mentor 
His guide
'What will I be when I'm a man' he asks his dying dad
Tears streaming down my face as dad slides the record back into its sleeve
I am young and have no idea what kind of man my dad is 
But I know I don't want to be Charlie
