Whenever I think of your name I choke,

I didn't realize

How tough it is to be an adult,

Have expectations, addictions,

and 5 children,

That ain't no joke.

I was so young back then,

Didn't know how to cope.

Chose to hold it all in,

Didn't even bother

Picking up the phone,

Give you a holla,

When you moved to another state.

I can't remember the last time I saw your face, Spent so much time in my mind's

Cozy private island,

Where I can dream with open eyelids,

You are still a pilot,

always an awesome father,

Nothing less.
