Status Update

Dad, Your second son turned 24 yesterday
Dad I wanted more yesterday
What was it for yesterday
And could I handle it if you came back again and left today
Dad, Your little girl's a junior at the university
And she misses you so much sometimes it's like it hurts to breathe
She's exactly the kind of woman that you would hope a person be
Dad, There's people in the world I love because you loved 'em
They think of me as strangers but i look at them as cousins
MLK spoke of a community beloved
Took me til like now to realize that you were of it
Grandma tells me stories how you acted in your youth
Didn't talk as much as me but always spoke the truth
Had a need to get out, I wish I knew the young you
But otherwise not much in my life that I would undo
Dad, I'm doing well can't you tell I hope you're proud
I know you're not embarrassed that I stand out in the crowd
You'd only be embarrassed if they got me to stand down
And stop doin' and pursuin' all the things we are about
Dad I'm gonna be an artist in your memory
Endeavor to make things better with a luminous intensity
So rest in peace, we all know that you earned it
You were an awesome dad
A flawed brilliant imperfect person

Seasons change
Days stay the same
Can't say the same for you
