I love my mother's eyes but never knew my dad's eyes could weep too.

He says he is a bit under the weather but he is lying and I know the ugly truth.

On vacations, he would be the Barbecue man but now the food is too hard to swallow.

My brother is narrating my dad's jokes and tricks.

Would you stand by your superhero if he was powerless?

I know you would but without his strengths, you wouldn't recognise him at all.

Mom blames it on the smoke but it isn't just his lungs, he lost the spark in his eyes and the spirit in his voice.

Another hero defeated by time.

Pour the parting glass and put me in a casket.

Don't keep waiting I will be the donor my dad needs.

When he opens his eyes tell him how I wished that I should have held hands when he walked me to classes.

Oh, my mother's eyes and love.

None can hold up the family like my father. #review #minndofmine
