in a bulletin i found a you tube video
on the bulletin it said serious note
everyone needs to see this
i watch it though my tears
it was "remember me", i am
it bought tears to my eyes
i need to support those
for reminds me when my dad
went on long cruises for months
not for his enjoyment but the Navy
now you know what i am talking about
my dad would be gone months 'n months
so long that i began to forget
what he looked like even in his uniform
i would be scare the day he returned
i thought i had done something wrong
that he would be away so long
i held his picture in my hand
so i could pick him out of the crowd
so many are so happy to greet
but i was scare of what punishing
i received for him being gone
less i be good he not return
when i see him i would forget
the punishing, the picture, my mom
run i would to greet him
hoping he remembers me
he would scoop me up in his arms
as we joined in one big grip of three
i never see mom cry except then the tears
tears of so much joy was shed
i would hear faint noises of the ship
noises of securing the ship
i not hear for i was to hear only
my dad who spoke of love for us
see for your self the things you must see
