In distant memories I recall the zippering Of one pieced footed pajamas The warmest of my little bed The caring hands that tucked in the covers About my neck The words "Good Night" The drifting off to sleep The shortness of the night The awaking to morning light Still there in my little bed Still loved Now It is my turn to prepare You for your bed As I guide a A frail frame Dimming eyes and toddling feet To an awaiting bed Tucking you beneath Flannel sheets and comforter Good night Daddy May you rest in peace Knowing you're still loved |

It's only right, fair, and loving to give back, even if just a little, of what was given us. This is lovely, Songbird. *s When you think you have heard it all, |

Wow, I love this poem.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

What extraordinary sentimental value does your poem hold for all who will read. A must for the anthology... And also a most perfect poem to begin my night of gentle rest. Thank you, good night, and God bless. -Bob |
