Happy Fathers day

My father was a quiet man

He didn't make much noise

I guess that's a good thing

for a father of two boys

 

As he got older, my father 

liked to sit in his favorite chair

and listen to classical music

He said once it kept him sane

 

My father was a smart man

He did the NY Times crossword

every day until he stopped

When he was near the end

 

My father never worked with 

computers. By the time he

retired, most people had
He was a whiz with numbers

 
Like many men of his generation 

he was not overtly emotional

I think he kept a lot inside

Maybe not the best way to be

 

The older I get, the more I 

think I understand my father

I think about him all the time

Happy Fathers Day Dad
