One Day Pops Poem by Lyndsay Thomas

I saw him today
I turned my head without a delay

I wander if he even recognized me or looked my way at all
When I was just 10 years old, you threw me a hardball

Left mom and I
Didn't even say goodbye

Today I noticed you look different too
You aged and need a haircut that's way overdo

Your not as tall as you once were
But I don't remember, that day was a blur

I see you got a new car
And stopped smoking those cigars

You look healthy
And by the clothes you're wearing, very wealthy

When I look at you now, I still see the man I knew when I was a kid,
Although, it's hard to forget what you did

I hope one say we can settle our past
But I still need and want time, so not so fast

I may forgive, but never will I forget
So for now, I'll put In my favorite cassette

And keep driving my old truck with you In my rear view towards the sunbeam
'Objects may appear closer then what they really seem'

One day Pops,
I might stop.
