Could never be another…

Your dad breaks rules and creates them

Your dad would break a rule to create one

Your dad’s wife showed him how his dreams look

Your dad had stories before he could read books

Your dad has made more mistakes than the average man

Your dad probably threw his best poems in the garbage can

Your dad has never been too intoxicated

Your dad believes the world is just approximations

Your dad will cry with you before he knows what’s wrong

Your dad might be the reason you chose your favorite song

Your dad wishes his dad got to be an elder

Your dad cherishes every moment spent together

Your dad saw the world more than he ever needed

Your dad smiled even when he was defeated

Your dad knows that love can never disappear

Your dad did all he could while he was living here…
