Once more I want to thank you Father

That is an old poem written by Aldo Kraas

Once more I want to thank you
Father
For everything you did for me
Through all the years
You gave me the gift of life
After you had created
Me in you image
You had given me
Grey hair and brown eyes
You tell me that I am
Beautiful you in your eyes
Father I don't agree with you
At all
Father you are untitled to your opinion
I am untitled to mine
I feel that I am an an ugly men
I must say that I am happy
To be alive
Every single day
Father I don't mess up with
My health
I am taking good care of my health
Father I never smoked for 60 years
And I don't plan to smoke now
Because I would ruin my health
Also I would damage my lungs
Yes Father thanks god I have
healthy lungs
Also I been sober for 60 years
So I have a healthy liver
Yes every single morning
I go for a big walk around the block
And also walk is good for me
Today the day ended very fast
The sun went down very fast
And I saw the beautiful sunset
That left me speechless
Now the night arrived
And it is my bed time
I must pray to my father
It only takes a couple minutes
Then I can go to sleep
I hope that I don't wake up
In the middle of the night
I want to sleep all through
The night
Yes tomorrow will be another day
That will arrive early for me
I will be up by then
I will not sleep in during the morning
Because I will be wasting a beautiful day
I need to go out and get a life
And live it to the fullest
I also need people in my life
That will be my friends

In this world, having parents is truly a blessing, and your poem is a wonderful example of that.such an honest conversation both with your father and with yourself.
