Ode to Dad © 2022 Alan Molin (In Memory of My Father)

I know it made you angry not to heed the words you'd say.
But I was in a different place, I went a different way.
I meant it as a compliment, the fruit of what you'd grown.
I took the tools you taught me and I made them all my own.

You went away before your time, before I hit my stride.
But if you're looking down on me, you know how hard I tried.
To be the kind of person who would speak the truth aloud.
To always pay it forward, yeah, I think that you'd be proud.

Thank you for your guidance, the skills that your shared.
     I hope that you know.
For every piece of wisdom, the way that you cared.
     I hope that you know.
I never really told you, when you were around.
     I hope that you know.
There's no time like the present, so I'm doing it now.
     I hope that you know.

Now that I am a father and the job is mine to do.
So many years have come and gone but I still think of you.
The wisdom of your guidance is now mine to pass along.
In honor of your memory, I'll keep the message strong.

I never really told you, when you were around.
     I hope that you know.
There's no time like the present, so I'm doing it now.
     I hope that you know.
