He’s in the little things
He was in the crowd at every game
He watched every play
He was always last to eat
He grabbed a late night hamburger
Anything of his, was ours if we needed it
Including his time
He is in the whispers of correction
In every little thing I do, I try to be like him
I feed my family first
I eat the leftovers
I grab a late night burger
I whisper correction to my kids on their level
I give anything my kids need to them
Nothing belongs to me, it all belongs to them
I bear his name. He gave that to me
He built value in that name
He built value in me
Good was never enough
We must always do better, be better
He was proud of me when I couldn’t be proud of myself
I am who I am because of him
He is my example and my guide
I don’t know if I’ll ever live up to his name
But I know he believes I already do
I love you Dad
