Different but NO Different

I am not sentimental at all but thought I would dedicate this little poem and the time I spent to write it, to my Father who's thoughts helped me complete a real mental workout few weeks back.

Different but no different

A 10 mile run, under the burning hot sun
Strapped 3 pounds not one, to add to the fun
Few miles seemed like a ton, just half way n I felt I was done
Your thoughts came down like none, you let my mind compare you and your son.
Little I knew the battle was half won,  n that fun had just begun !!!
You live vegetarian but I am no barbarian
cos animals I eat are mostly vegetarian
Family is first to you, I am self obsessed in my view
Gardening, you say is workout, I doubt its worth being a cop out
Optimist in you never said No, The Realist in me tries to run my show
Birthdays and people, you remember em off the hook,
I am glad there's this thing called the face book
You care so try to make it easy for us!!!
I care and let my kids fight their battles to success !!!
You had faith in GOD and worked really hard,
I too work very hard but Nature is my only GOD.
Movies from Hollywood, we still love to watch Clint East Wood
Both love to drive and that's not gonna change as long as we are alive
Riding different waves we may,  but even our thoughts don't slay
Thinking of all this along the way, Pain started to sway away
And thus I completed my run,
Glad that we are Different, but NO DIFFERENT just ONE !!!

Thank you Appa, Have a great day !!!
