ME. In the Shadow of the Mt.

Father
Father a child
Child of love
Love of family
Family of four girls
Girls of his heart
Heart of a man
Man of his word
Word of wisdom
Wisdom passed down
Down to us all
All are now grown
Grown apart
Apart but still close
Close as always
Always there for me
Me and my Dad
Dad I love you
You my father
Father

Thanks Alison! I wrote this for my Dad. He wrote me a poem in 1969 which I still keep. I've always wanted to write one for him but there was so much to say so finally I thought it was better to keep it simple and to the point. He loved it!

I love the reason for the poem as much as the poem.  What a special gift.

I love the reason for this poem as well. I wrote one for my Father once as well..Called it Daddy's Hands. It will always be very special to me as he is. Thanks for sharing.
