My heart is sad and breaking,
As I remember my dear & precious Dad
Words fail, my mind is aching,
Memories flood of you my Dad! (My few words today!)
Thinking of my dear Mom too, who’s lost her partner of more than 60 years. 😭
*A daughter never forgets her Dad*
I have to admit that
I was a Daddy's girl.
He told me he loved better
Than anything else in the world.
When I became a woman
He walked me down the aisle,
And gave me away
With a bittersweet smile.
And when I gave birth,
He was there, too
To greet each little one and say
Hello, I love you.
And now that man who loved me,
And wrapped me in arms so strong
Has gone where I can't reach him,
But my love for him lives on.
I'll keep his memory alive,
and honor all he believed,
And just feel so very grateful
For all his love that I received.
