Poem 148: Dad (Happy Birthday!)

There isn't a time when I can't rewind and say, "I love you Dad."
There's no moment in my past when I wish it wasn't you I had.
Sure, there were times when I hated what you made us do.
Times when chores were loathed when given harsh and strong by you.
There were times when I swore we were slaves to turn your soil over
but, I learned, and in those times I mastered me and mind grew wiser.
There were moments that I could say I did not understand
the way you thought, or loved, or at anger chose to laugh.
But, in truth I say, just as the sun rises every morn.
I'd choose to have no other dad if I'd to be reborn.

So, dad, this day we celebrate your birth (we're glad you came!)
for if you hadn't been birthed then life wouldn't be the same. 
For one thing you would not be here, to make the world smile
but better yet, you never would've had me as your child!
