Sad Rock

On stage you’re cool.
I’m proud but sad
I look at you
but see my dad

He died too young
Four times your age
Played drums, wrote songs
Enjoyed the stage

Your solo’s great
I watch you play
He would’ve loved
to see today

And see his grandson
play like a pro
You never met him
You’ll never know

I love this poem Linda. It is so beautiful and so very sad and poignant. It shows another side of you and the depth that is there in you. Your obvious love for your father and your son - the generations and lives lived and lost and a life to live.
