HERO



    Always kind, never mean, with biggest heart you've ever seen. A talented man, It came natural some say, he could sing like no other with his guitar he'd play. As he grew old , most people didn't know, all the pain that he had inside, that he failed to show. He insured so much pain in this life he lived, and he gave and gave until there was nothing more to give. No matter how much pain the man felt that day, he'd never hold back to show us the love , putting us first before what would come what may. Although he tried to hide what he would call flaws, he hide them behind his drinking thinking nobody saw. If I could go back and gave just one more day, I'd ask him to sing, and give him a guitar to play.  Looking back at him  so tired and so sad, was the best friend I've ever had, the best friend I could ask for.
        MY HERO, MY DAD.
