Once a Murphy Once A Skinner

a soldier you are a father you once were
its hard to know what to say
to a man like you if a man is the term to use
wether a man glutton genious
or simply one who gained respect of all
and in the end had none from nor to........Rest Soldier....Rest Man...Rest Father....

i never knew who you really were
i just knew you were my dad
semper fi do or die
when i look in the mirror i see your your face...
when i think my thoughts
i know we think alike
i wish we would have had more than we did
but somehow in your indirect way
you taught me to be a man
and u told me the only memory i have strongly
when you looked me me in my eyes and said
you can be anything you want
dont let anyone tell you otherwise.......
POWMIA........UNtil the end Ill always love you DAD
