Gotta Love My Pops Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

We can stand here and stare into each others eyes
Or I can turn around and leave without ever saying 'Goodbye'
Walk down the path I once made
Dragging my feet along the sand

I once happily walked one
The sun had lost it's warmth whenever I lay beneath it
Life seemed pathetic and weak
As I stumbled on to my knees
And that night I cried a thousand 'pleas'

No one was listening
As blood ran down my lips
As my tears soon spilled
I knew what had become of you
And your broken hands can't fix the pain

The pain of suffering
I remember when I could come to you for some guidance
And you'd support me
And every time I fell you'd keep me up on to my feet
Teach me the mistakes I made
And lead me down the right way

Blood is what holds these memories
But, if it weren't for you I'm sure I would be nothing
So, I thank you for making me strong
So take your sorrows and throw them at someone else
And the same love will never be expressed between you and me
