He awoke Sunday quite
depressed
Reminded of what lie
ahead
Not looking forward to
going anywhere
He had rather sleep late
instead
Sunday was always his
favorite day
After working hard all
week
Sleep late then watch
the ball game
Get some real R & R
and peace
Oh, he wanted to visit,
but then again
Ball games would be on
all day
What a bummer to miss
any or all
Why, his favorite team
would play
Guilt overrides, he
knows he must go
His mind starts devising
a plan
Make an appearance an
hour or so
Then leave as soon as he
can
He arrives at 1 pm on
the nose
There’s a frail man
waiting outside
The old man smiles as he
sees him
With so much Fatherly
pride
Sorry I’m late Dad, so
much to do
I can’t stay as long as
I planned
As Dad hugs him tight
for a long time
He sees hurt in the eyes
of the man
Time flew by as they
reminisced
Of all the good times
they had
All of a sudden it’s
time to go
And he says his goodbye
to Dad
At a nursing home just a
mile from town
An aging Father wipes
away a tear
And softly whispers,
“I love you Son”,
“I’ll see you again
next year”
