Dad Poem

1.Sitting on the couch, gazing out the large front window of the house, I see exhaust twirling like a tornado 2. rising towards the sky. BANG. My muscles instantly started twitching and my body is shaking as it 3.startled me when the door was slammed shut. 4. The stench of oil is flowing through the house like a rapidly, running river. My father is home. My heart 5.is thumping as if it is going to jump out …

…me to sleep. I just want to sleep so I can wake again and wait to 21.see my dad all over again. 22.There is just something about him, so hard to explain. Keeps me going from day to day. Seems like 23.short moments I get to spend with him but no matter how short, they're completely cherished. 24.Years have past and I have grown, 25.Still my dad is the only hero I have ever known.
