Good Ol’ Dad

7/20/2020 was your 100th birthday,

or would have been had you lived beyond 50.

No matter.

We all celebrated you each in our own way.

You would have enjoyed it.

And had you been here, you would have likely picked your guitar

and shared a few toasts of wine,

crossed that weird one eye of yours

and had us laughing on the floor.

I guess it’s finally time to stop missing you.

From here on out, you will be simply celebrated!

Amen and fare thee well, Pop!
