My mountain
I looked out one sunny morning
I saw a mountain standing
On the horizon far away
What could measure its heights?
I looked out one stormy day
I saw a mountain kneeling
Beneath the clouds far away
The rain could not wash it away
I took out one sunny day
For the mountain far away
It was my guide every day
It kept me on my path both day and night
I looked out one night
The stars and moon shown
On the mountain lighting bright
The snow that now covers its heights
I look out today
And see I was held in his hands near his heart
That mountain was a man
He was never far away, Fathers are built that way
I take this day and every day
And hope you
Hear me say
I love you

I love every word of this Roy,and let me tell u,You have lived up to every expectation of your Father..knowing what I have of u,I feel as if I have found my Papa in u... "Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad." -- Anne Geddes
I agree with Alpana Roy...and it sounds like your Dad was a very special person in your life...and he passed that trait on to his own son...you are lucky...you had some beautiful mentoring from your Dad...you must miss him deeply...
A beautiful way of saying you love your father, Roy. He will be proud of you.
really lovely poem Roy.
K :-)
Roy, your words have deeply touched my heart. A father, dad, has the strength of a mountain and can weather it all. Thank you for sharing this. It was a wonderful read. And now, may I take a moment to find a tissue :') Happy tears.
