FATHER

Used to wonder just why father
Never had much time to play;
Used to wonder why he'd rather
Work each minute of the day.
Loated along the road an shirked;
Can't recall a time whenever
Father played while others worked.
Father didn't dress in fashion,
Sort of hated clothing new;
Style with him was not a passion:
He had other things in view.
Boys are blind to much that's going
On about 'em day by day,
And | had no way of knowing
What became of fathers pay.
All | knew was when ! needed
Shoes | got EN- on the spot;
Everything for which l pleaded,
Somehow, Father always got.
Wondered season after season,
Why he never took a rest,
And that | might be the reason
Then | never even guessed.
Father set a store of knowledge;
If he'd lived to have his way
He'd have sent me off to college
And the bills been glad to pay.
That, | know, was his ambition;
Now and then he used to say
He'd have done his earthly mission
On my graduation day.
Saw his cheeks getting paler
Didn't understand just why;
Saw his body growing frazier,
Then at last | saw him die.
Rest had come! His tasks was ended,
Calm was written on his brow;
Fathers life was big and splendid,
And | understand it now.
