Something to Remember

For My Papa

People have no idea

What it's like

They didn't go through It with us

But Dad, I know,

That every inch of the pain we felt

Was tenfold for you

I can't imagine

What It was like

I understood

You had to leave

But I was what, four?

I didn't yet understand why

I couldn't see just how much

A bit of land

Or a minor disagreement

Could ever have made such a change

Could be such a big deal

But I guess you did, 

Must have meant something to you

And for that reason, 

And that reason only

It means something to me

I won't pretend I understand

Cause Dad, I barely know

But I will be one person

To let you know you didn't go through it alone

Dad I'm proud, 

Of you

Not just for what you did for our country

But what you went through

When you got home

What you went through

So you could keep us

And I know I'll drive you crazy

And Dad, you're sure to return the favor

But Papa, I love you

And that's something to remember

I Salute your Papa. This was a wonderful tribute to him. I'm sure he's very proud of you as well! This had such a lovely flow and meaning to it. Absolutely wonderful. I look forward to more. ^_^

i know baby. at least i have a good idea. "serenity faith" you are so damned right. I am disgustingly proud of of her. The more and more she grows and matures, the more and more we transition from a point of "she's my daughter" to "he's my dad." So terribly proud of the young lady she is.

That's wonderful! There is simply something special, between Daddy's and their Daughter's. I know my Daddy means the world to me, even if his discipline was rough. It's made me to be the strong gal I am today. Bless you both!
