My Father’s Eyes
Aaron Taos
My Father’s Eyes
Looking in my father’s eyes
Pale blue as autumn skies
He whispers as he starts to cry
“I’m sorry I’ll miss half your life
No helping hand through high and lows
No wedding day, kids of your own
The journey by the milestones
The valleys peaks and winding roads”
I hold his hand and cheek to cheek
I tell him “You’ve done more for me
Than any man I’ll ever meet
So while this may be bittersweet
Leave knowing you’ve done your best”
And so I lay my head on his chest
As I’ve done since thе day we met
Once final timе, now get some rest
I love you
