My Dad
 

When I was just a tiny kid
Do you remember when
The time you kissed my bruises
Or cleaned by soiled chin?
 

 
You scrambled for the balls I hit
(Short-winded more than not!)
Yet, every time we'd play a game
You praised the "outs" I caught.
 

 
It seems like only yesterday
You wiped away my tears
And late at night I called your name
To chase away my fears.
 

 
Though time has changed your handsome grip
Your hair is snowy white
You gait's a little slower now
Thick glasses help your sight.
 

 
Oh, do I thirst for years gone by
To be that growing lad
Re-living all of the memories
Of growing up with my dad.
