it is strange
to have someone in your life
that you feel so similar to
but that you also look up to.

i find myself wishing to be like him
but then i realize that i already am.
his blood is mine.

i notice in the small details.

i will speed up my writing
suddenly the handwriting is his.

i will tell outrageous stories
they will remind me of his.

i will make friends everywhere that i go
they will tell me that i remind them of him.

the list goes on and on.

my father is the greatest man that i know.
