Father's Day

Happy Father's Day from Brandykegs!

My Dad
(author unknown)

When I was just a tiny kid,

Do you remember when?

The time you kissed my bruises,

Or cleaned my soiled chin.

You scrambled for the balls I hit,

Short-winded more than not,

Yet, every time we played a game,

You praised the "outs" I caught.

It seems like only yesterday,

You wiped away my tears,

And late at night I called your name,

To chase away my fears.

Though time has changed your handsome grip,

Your hair is snowy white,

Your gait's a little slower now,

Thick glasses help your sight.

Oh, do I thirst for years gone by?

To be that growing lad,

Re-living all of the memories,

Of growing with my Dad.
