Dad and Celine (The Final Cut)

DAD AND CELINE

I bought my first CD
not knowing my dad liked it too.

Since then many a drive 
we've listened to her songs.

Celine Dion.  The Power of Love.
If Walls Could Talk.

Her music brings back memories
of a late night drive.

I look out the window
at the thousand lights of a city

sparkling like diamonds 
against the surrounding darkness

then the dark trees line the
pavement.  That's the Way It Is.

The melodies of her songs
massage my ears.

my dad starts singing along 
as dreams start to cross my eyelids

I know that my 
dad is there next to me.

It's All Coming Back To Me Now.
the music.  my dad.
