Dad, you lifted my heart,
You gave me my life start.
You were a dissident with soul,
You gave me thoughts of ole’.
Atypical Male,
Ego not for sale.
No bogan sports,
Masculine sensitive thoughts.
You protected me no matter what,
That computer virus when I was shot.
You accepted me for being gay,
I was your Bortch and you never said nay.
You held me together when I was falling apart,
You always lifted my heart.
You taught me to question everything,
Your hands and mind made anything.
I wish I knew you longer,
and when you were old, that I was stronger.
You never lost your lolz,
even when your brain had holes.
I have no idea where you came from,
But I know where you’ve gone.
I miss you every day,
I wish you’d say, Hey!
I hope we can do it all again,
because you were always my best friend.
Maybe another verse,
A parallel dimension not in a Herse.
I know I’m there dealing with your jokes
My soul fire you forever stokes.
I thank you in all realities,
You broke every banality.
Dad?
