Fishing With Dad Poem by Smoky Hoss

Fishing With Dad

Rating: 5.0


-Sitting around watching it snow -
Listening to the cold wind blow -
It's a dark gray day -
Meant for gazing out a frosty window,
At thoughts so far away.
Sit, and enjoy the sound,
Listening to Greg Brown
Sing about ' Fishing With Bill '.......
And for just a moment of sentiment
The rest of the world is serenly still;
As if this song was meant for me
And my childhood memory,
When it seems all I had
And all I wanted
Was fishing with Bill, my dad.
It was the best blessed time,
His, and mine.
Oh to go back again
And be once more, fishing with him.......
- I thank God
For those wonderful times we had,
Out there on Houghton Lake
Just a fishin',
Me and my Dad.

Don't we all wish we could back to that lake or stream and fish with our dads just one last time. Super write Smoky.

This memory of fishing with your dad must give you mixed emotions but i'm sure you must be glad you have this memory to hold on to. Nice poem Smoky.
