Remembering Dad............

Remembering Dad....

Forty-five years have passed
and I find myself here, at last,
trying so hard to recall
the sound of your voice
when you would call

my name, or sing "my song",
but it's just too hard, it's been so long
since Jesus called you home to Him.
I was such a child then, Dad,
in many ways, I still am.

Life is full of choices, Dad, I know,
some choices I have made haven't been so
intelligent, Dad, I've made some mistakes
and life has dealt me the hand
that comes with those breaks

Do you remember the day
that the wind did blow
a blizzard filled with blinding snow?
You came to school, and pulled me home
on my sled, all wrapped in a blanket, warm.

I wonder now just how cold you were
when you came to get me, it was such a blur,
I was only five, kindergarten you see,
and I was just so proud that
you came to get me !!!!!

Nobody seems to remember, Dad,
How you plowed gardens,
and the horses you had
every spring to do the work, yet I
can name them, and I wonder why
I remember Wimpy and Beauty,
while other memories lie

In forgotten places in my brain
though I try with all my might,
they still remain
Lost to me, yet, one thing is true~~~
You loved me Dad, and I still Love you.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
with love
