Dear Dad
I am leaving to join the Navy. Yet, I leave with so much unsaid. I do not know where to begin. �Nature�s first green is gold. Her hardest hoe to hold. Her earlyleafs a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf,so Eden sank to grief. Then dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay.�
The poem is by Robert Frost. It is talking about how children grow up so fast. How you look back on my childhood and it only seems like a day. From when I was first born, to talking my first step; to dating girls, and finally graduating. Now I go on to my next step in my life, the Navy. You look back and you begin to realize that truly, �nothing gold can stay.� Dad, ever since I left home two years ago, I have thought about all the good times and how much I miss them. There are things in our past that we both regret, will we ever be able to put that behind us and move on? I have grown up a lot in the last year, and deep down I wish you had been there to see it. Dad, this isn�t goodbye, but more of a, this is how I feel. I love you and will always be here for you if you ever need anything. I cannot apologize for all the trouble I put you through, but at least I can show you that I am a better person.
