My Ode To Dad

Our journey started on a night you almost missed,

Now I look back and reminisce,

Through times of jubilance and troublesome times.

You helped me.

You helped me persevere,

As you pushed me down so gently,

On a steep slippery slope which I feared so much.

You helped me achieve academic goals and athletic milestones,

By subtlly cheering my name,

Or by simply being there.

You helped me inherit your adventurous lifestyle,

Which memories I have carefully enclosed in a glass chest,

Which soon I will pass on to my children.

I now have learned how to reflect on days past,

Which now I can see,

Dad, you helped me.
