This is an extravagant poem. I hope to see more poems like this because this one really touched my heart.

Just Like Him

Published by Family Friend Poems July 2009 with permission of the Author.

He taught me how to build a fire;
he gave me hope and desire.

He taught me how to build a chair;
he told me that life wasn't fair.

He watched every basketball game
and treated me like fame.

He bought me ice cream
and listened to my every dream.

I talked to him every day,
we never ran out of things to say.

Without him I don't know who I'd be,
but one thing's for certain, I wouldn't be me.

He taught me how to be just like him,
and I already am within.
