My Father
 I looked up, as a child, into my father's eyes Grim and dark, light and joyous Calloused, smart, and wise It was then that I decided to be just like that man in sight and sound and interests, in every way I can But as I grew, I grew away Stopped striving for his likeness Stopped being tough and big and strong Stopped wanting that grim kindness I did not listen to his words I went down my own way I turned from those who loved me Drawing further every day Then one day I made a point To look down into his eyes There they were, concerned for me Still calloused, smart and wise It was then that I first realized I can still be me But my respect, my trust, and all my love Are his eternally |

Thank you! I'm actually working on a charcoal drawing of this picture for my Mom's Christmas present.

I can't wait to get home and post the picture of my Dad that I took. I'll post in another thread though, this is all yours.
Great work, love that poem too. |

I know this should probably go in the creative corner forum, but I wanted to post it here. This is a charcoal drawing (done on the computer though) of that picture of my dad. This will be framed for Mom for Christmas, but I think it's gonna be hard for me to wait two months. :p
