A Man's Happy Father's Day Lament

Rik Merchant

We don't see eye to eye.

We never have, I don't know why.

When a child, I looked up to you.

Nothing's changed, I still do.

Don't talk to me again-

That is your wish but it's my bane.

Yet as a man, I will not cry

For the lost time before we die.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.

I have no reason to be sad

As you go your way and I mine-

Love will always cast a lifeline.
