My Papa's Waltz...

 Sorry its late I didn't know how to do it the first week of school.

                  I feel like that in the poem the father is a drunk but your not suppose to fear him because he is a caring man. The kid in the poem loved his father no matter if he abused him or came home drunk; The last stanza says "you beat time on my head with a palm caked hard by dirt, then waltzed me off too bed still clinging to your shirt".  My favorite line in the poem was "but i hung on like death, such waltzing was not easy' this to me was the boy saying no matter what you do I won't give up on you and I will always love you.;
