Another year passes by another year I miss my Dad. I talk about him in my circle of friends, how he could fix anything. And the beautiful body work he could do on cars. Him walking in his duck like way that I inherited. His cap, T-shirt and blue jeans. I miss him so and wish I could just touch him and hug him. But I know I will again in a safe beautiful world.
