weekend wordsmith prompt: time

Today’s Dad’s birthday
We’re both February babes
Yesterday was mine

We’re some ways alike
As dads and daughters can be
Much to Mom’s chagrin

We had our issues
Now all I have are questions
Dad’s dead twenty years

It was our cancer
Over at fifty-seven
He missed the good stuff

Melanoma – thief of time

Cover Me

misunderstood this one for years

Song’s not about France?
I still hear “Alsace-Lorraine”
Not “outside’s the rain”

Returned

is it a road-trip if you take amtrak?

Two days out of town
Up to New Jersey for work
Home feels good tonight

doesn’t need lip balm

Last time I logged in
from home a virus found me
Just a bit gun shy

Bob Marley & Melanoma

feb 6, 1945 – may 11, 1981

Happy Birthday Bob
You’d be sixty-four today
But for the cancer

Melanoma kills
You can get it anywhere
Even your big toe
