Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
within your arms Id like to be
just one last time I'd like to see
your face with that smile and silent laugh
crinkled,weathered lines that contour your eyes
hear you call out to me from your room
to show me a story on tv about cricket
watch you play with Kel, laugh at her getting frustrated
have you poke me in the belly which I hated so much
have you tell me to take a jacket when i go out
or ask me what I did today
just to see you walk down the road with your soft, brown briefcase
just once would be enough
to catch you again, in that moment where you were just my dad
without the tubes
or the injections
or pain
without the chemotherapy
just you
with your freckles
to have your stubbly rough chin scratch my skin as you kiss me hello
and feel your fluffy, thinning hair in my hands as i make fun of your greying sides
most of all i miss your hugs
the ones i would roll my eyes at, as they would too often come
just to have you hold me once more
is all that i want
I love you Dad
