What's the perfect gift for my father?
The perfect gift for my father is a good book of music and mechanic.
A big poem for a big father.
The things
you taught me I will always know.
How could I
not? The roots have sunk so deep:
All lessons
of the heart that I will keep
No matter
who I am or where I go.
Kids learn
from what their parents are, and so
You are my
dad Harold, my book of life, the thoughts
I reap; Only in
your arms I quiet sleep;
Under my
words your voice sings soft and slow.
From you I
learned the rules of right and wrong
Against
which I at times had to rebel,
Though with
regret I carry with me still.
How lucky I
am to have been loved so well,
Even as I
pushed against your will,
Relying on
a father fair and strong.
You, Harold
Nieles like me.
