Coming

I can see you coming far away

Where have you been all these years

I hardly recognize you now

You've grown older and more silent

I've been so lonely for your words

They encouraged me to become

More than I was without you

You taught me things that helped

And filled me with wonder

I valued your wise advice

I miss your amusing stories

Of life in the olden days

When the pace was much slower

And more friendly

I will never forget you

My father

This dedicated to my Father!
