Daddy loved me when no one  else could
he wiped away my tears with just one look
daddy could read me like an open book

Daddy never changed, was always the same
never got mad, his heart was always glad
we'd sit on the porch and sing old hymns
in the sweet by and by we shall meet on
that beautiful shore...

Once I saw daddy with a tear in his eye
he knew I was hiding something inside
he sat on the porch in his old rocking chair
picking his guitar while mama just stared

Daddy always knew when I was blue
he'd sit at the foot of my bed
wishing he could stop the tears I shed
and I can still hear him say...
you alright?  

Daddy's not here anymore
he's gone home to be with the Lord
sometimes I think I can hear him sing
on a hill far away...

I know I can hear him say...
you alright?

This is a tenderly executed render from the heart of a daughter.

Bless your heart.

Marge,
Thank you always...I have to clarify, this is not about my dad. A friend told me about her dad, so I wanted to write for her.
I need to write one for my dad too... he died in 1983.

Glad you like it

I hope you did not cry too much...

I am really glad it touched you in a special way

I am sorry about the loss of your father. Although this poem is not about my father I do know how it feels to lose mine. 7/28/83
One day I will write about mine, just not yet.
You will always carry your dad in your heart no one can take that away.
