Growing up…he never quite understood
how his dad was not interested in the climb.
He didn’t have fame or fortune…
yet he seemed happy all the time.

Throughout their life… times were good
but when the times were rough…
His dad would smile and say…’As long as we have love
we will always have enough’.

It took him years to understand…
years before he saw the light
years to realize that he was wrong
and that his dad was right.

When it came his turn to say goodbye to
he was angry.
he was sad.
he rested his head upon his dad’s chest…
wanting him to feel all the love he had.

“I wish I had more to offer you,” he said,
then he began to cry
a way to let you know how much I love you
before we say goodbye…

His father smiled as he gently stroked the hair on his son’s head…
When it comes to your love you needn’t worry…I’ve always known.” He said.

Then with what little strength his dad had left
He took his son’s hand in his
“And not only has your love been important.” He said
“It’s the only thing that is.”

There was a time he wished for fame and fortune…
now every day he’s glad…
That his life is filled with family, friends with love
A life…just like his dad's.
