Dear Dad

And for about 45 years I blamed myself,

for how my life turned out to be.

Hid my dreams behind a shelf,

found a picture and wanted you to see.

It wasn't my fault nor my mistake,

If only you would've cared, then maybe I could've played in that dream football arena...

Yes, your son is an average engineer today, but can you talk a wild guess for whose sake?

So I'll drop off this photo at your place, while I'm on my way to my son's first show as a ballerina.
