Thoughts on My Father Written at the Death of My Grandfather

Circa 1985

Don't waste away life waiting to be perfect.
Don't wait 'til you're good enough to let me know you.
Closing yourself off to keep me from seeing
Leaves me yearning and empty inside.
I want to know you and you to know me,
So when you are gone then I can find tears.
