a date with my dad

   
my dad loved women, fast cars    
the finer things in life    
though some would call him a good ole boy    
being a crop dusting pilot    
   
he loved me    
my parents divorced when I was just a baby    
I recall awaiting him at the window on visiting day    
so happy to see him    
   
I found out today he was a writer    
see I hear the dead    
more than any my dad    
he looks over my shoulder when i'm typing    
tells me he's proud  
never knew he wrote    
   
I miss him though we didn't see things the same    
he's shown me a vision of me at three pig tails and all    
running into his arms while on bent knee    
says that'll be us    
on the day I pass    
from this life to the next    
we have a date and he'll be there
