Tribute
For my father
Raised in wealth
Big house in the Park
You played the corporate shuffle
Suit and tie, briefcase in hand
You kept things straight
Beside vodka martinis, with a lemon twist
The family was safe
We had all our needs met
Household repairs became Saturday routine
We worked together, father son
You were there when you could
Serving four children and a wife
An open hand that always gave
Whether to know you or myself
With deeper insight today
Let us embrace
As I tell you
Of my gratitude
