Early birthday poem to my dad
by Tucker J. Collins
A celebration of life occurs once and only once in every year
For every single person who lives life fully and believing,
Paying attention to now and not saying the end is near.
Now is the time for me to say happy birthday from a son
who’ll keep believing that you’ll keep achieving
Tucker, what a great gift for your dad. It really struck me that you said “not saying the end is near.” You must feel so surrounded by that now. I’m glad your dad can be a respite for you. I can only imagine that if I were living it- going through what you’re going through, I wouldn’t need anyone to say the end is near. You must want to scream every time someone tries to break things down for you. You’re so smart- you get it. Your dad will love this.
