A Goodbye Kiss
爸爸的道别之吻
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob stood up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moments."

Frank began," I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed he family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad." He looked at us and said," I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, you smelled the ocean."

Frank&`&s voice dropped a bit." When the weather was so bad he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Then I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!"

He paused and then went on," I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said,&`& No, Dad.&`& It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised looked on his face.”

I said,&`& Dad, I&`&m too old for a good-bye kiss. I&`&m too old for any kind of kiss.&`& My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes wetted. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked at me.&`& You&`&re right,&`& he said.&`& You are a big boy…… a man. I won&`&t kiss you anymore.&`&"

For that moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. "It wasn&`&t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back."

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again." Guys,you don&`&t know the thing I wanna most is just one more kiss on the cheek……to feel his rough old face…… to smell the ocean on him…… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man. If I had been a man, I would been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss."

See my daddy he looks so cool
Life with papa likes magic book
Lovely father cooks tasty food
Teaching me everything to do
Baby as you come ,my life becomes full
You make me alright when I m feeling blue
Connecting our home in a loving loop
Everything we are going through
Papa, papa, when shall we travel far?
Taking my telescope to see the star
Baby, baby, taking the map you drew
Follow me do as I doI must be so strong to be your papa
I learn to do well from the very start
As time goes by you gradually grow up
Baby you are always my love
Papa, papa, when shall we travel far?
Taking my telescope to see the star
Baby, baby, taking the map you drew
Follow me do as I do
Funny papa runs very fast
You are mommy s and my superstar
You know why I love that cookie jar
You re the best man always in my heart
Papa , papa, when shall we travel far?
Taking my telescope to see the star
Baby, baby, taking the map you drew
Follow me do as I do
Lalalalala
Taking my telescope to see the star
Baby, baby, taking the map you drew
Follow me do as I doPapa , papa, when shall we travel far?
I won t be afraid when sky s getting dark

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
