Honoring a Father

FutureLawyer blogger Rick Georges remembers his father in a poem. An excerpt:

He stood at the grave.
The soldiers were at attention
and the mourners bore sad witness
to his Father’s passing.
He remembered the stern voice
demanding whether his homework was complete
and the smell of dirt
on the baseball field
where they played.
He still tasted the Coca Cola at the All-Star game
when he walked just about everyone
and his Father left him in the game.
