| Jack Of All Trades ~ You could be so harsh and be so mean your lessons endless your point always the best for some of us that ment no rest sometimes you yelled and you cursed you stormed, you ragged but those lessons never fade you could make me feel so small & stupid and then like a brat that had thoughtlessly acted man of few Words unless a questrion I asked then I needed a chair to get the whole story like a task you did nothing fast & everything right there was no point you said in work done 'half ass' you said go all the way, or dont go at all your heart has to be there or it will all fall your perfection drove us all crazy and at times it seemed to make you a bit hazy no time for TV you said it made people lazy and god forbid sleeping in, we were sure to be woken (and rudley at that) there was work to be done ... heaven forbid that we should get board And If we did we never told you it always produced list of things to be done you were so picky & we thought you were so icky I remember when you said we were going to some classes we were going to learn how to 'Land Sail' you said I remember that very well ... we had no idea what that was so you told us all about It, and then you drove us there the next day I fought tooth & nail with you saying how stupid it was,that nobody did that sort of thing and why couldent we just do 'normal stuff' like all the other kids... (by that time I had figured that you were what people referred to as eccentric) I went regardless of my compleet efforts not to go ... and all the reasons I came up with.... right down to the begging and pleading part god I was angry at you for making me do such a dumb thing ... turns out I was the best little land sailor although we did not always understand you & we did not always even like you some days we always knew that you loved us and you always tried to share the world wIth us music, art & culture appreciation to the camping trips to hell Bajha, I mean come on dad..... NO ONE goes to Bajha for two weeks at Christmas time!! You exposed us to the world at larg saying that we had much to learn you always taught us practical things, how to use tools, how to fend for ourselves you always told us dirt washes off & hadn't killed anybody yet... god some days we wished you dead and roll our eyes into the back of our head making them hurt and then get right down and dig in that dirt but daddy I remember when someone hurt me you were always there and sometimes when I cried, you did too you have held me so close in your arms I could feel your heart beat next to mine I could feel that you were strong for me that you would always protect me and you said that It was ok to cry I always knew that you would protect me when my darkest hour came you stood by my side and though no one could do anything you held my hand ~ Rain © cls |
