Old Man

Old man, you are not my Old Man,
But when I see you working in your garden,
I think of him.

Old man, you are not my Old Man,
But when I see you out walking (long shorts, white tube socks),
I think of him.

Old man, you are not my Old Man,
But when I see you at my son’s games,
I think of him.

Old man, you are not my Old Man,
But I thank you for triggering these memories of him.

(I miss you Dad.)
