| "I Wish I Knew Him Better" As stories go I knew him well Could fell a foe With just one blow Deep in his chest A Lions heart Yet made you laugh Quick wit to start This man so strong Who I loved so His Danny Boy Could make tears flow He told the truth As best he knew Though in the end It had been said Were much the same My Dad and me As stories go I knew him well But wish I knew him better |

| A very deep poem indeed and one reminder that we are all mortals. And good or bad we must say what's in our heart to the loved ones. LOA |

I agree with LOA. This poem reminded me of my Da  Being the youngest of five (13 year spread from the rest) I dinna ken my Da as well as I wanted. He worked two jobs tae keep us Sheltered, Fed and Clothed. It was during the final months that I got tae ken him a bit more. I ken he loved us all, as he did all he could for us.  But still, ye wish there was more time. So dinna take for granted who ye hae here and now  |

| Hi LOA, and Leelee; I guess if we all knew our parents’ at all. We would be the lucky ones. Of course, there are exceptions to any rule. Anyway thank you both for responding. JC |
