Message To Heaven

In Memory Of My Dad
G. L. Alexander
1926-1994
Also known as the
Michigan Gearjammer

In my mind
I still recall the sound
of the airhorn,rumbling
of your truck coming down
the road, hearing
Mother calling out....
Daddy's home.
Love, miss you still.

Your message surely went straight to heaven.

You painted a vivid picture ~ and with sound effects! I could hear the horn a blowin'!

A very moving vignette of your beloved Dad.

God bless you both!

How poignant.  I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose someone and still feel his presence.  I have deep sempathy for you...my friend!

I wrote this after seeing a semi truck that look like the one my dad use to drive.
Thank-you all for the sweet comments.
