Things I Learned From My Dad Poem by Glen Kappy
Things I Learned From My Dad
Money doesn't grow on trees.
I don't have to shout.
Running in front of cars could get me killed.
Fathers don't like to give spankings.
Learn from your wife.
Lavish her with jewelry and tickets and time...
Treat her like a queen.
There's a time to work hard
and a time to rest.
At least once a week stay home
turn on a game
make potato salad or cole slaw—
do something to uncoil.
Stay active—physical.
Providing is love.
Tenderness and generosity
are fitting in old age.
Absolutely gorgeous poetry this one.... peacefulness, in practice...
