Poetry
It seems so very long ago
When Daddy was so tall
I remember looking up at him
And feeling very small
I knew he was invincible
No harm could make its way
Near this little girl
His life for mine he'd pay
He wiped my tears away
When neighbor kids were mean to me
He taught me the golden rule
And how to have integrity
Precious are the memories
Of nature talks and trails
And time spent in Daddy's lap
Hearing his boyhood tales
Every year at Christmastime
Daddy read how God in Heaven
Came to earth born in the flesh
The redemption of all men
My dad's a lot like Jesus
With quiet strength he took life's cross
And humble love he spent himself
Never mentioning dreams he lost
