” I’LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD.”
Daddy, can you hear me singing,
Found on Pinterest on 6-19-16. Father and Son. L’ubomir Cervence.
All the songs you sang to me,
As we walked the hills and meadows
In the state of Tennessee?
Can you see me hold a rifle,
Like you said, “So carefully,”
As I walk the streets of Bagdad
And drop to a trembling knee?
Can you smell the Honeysuckle
That filled the air in June,
As we sat on the back porch
And we both strummed a tune?
Do you remember all the lessons
Found on Pinterest on 6-17-17. Some Father/ son love. Eliza J. Photography.blogspot. com.
You took the time to make me learn:
How to be a man of courage,
And be kind when I am stern?
How to keep moving forward
When I’m tired and want to quit;
And when I’m in a tight place,
Take the time to pray a bit?
So many things you taught me,
Are useful over here:
Like “Be a man I’m proud of,”
And “Stand your ground with fear.”
I wish I could have told you
As a boy and now a man,
How proud you made me, dad,
When you took me by the hand.
I loved your gentle laughter
Ringing in the summer air,
Found on Pinterest on 6-16-17. Julie Newell Photography.com.
As you put me on your shoulders,
Or you ruffled my hair.
There were times you scolded
When I was acting bad;
But you looked me in the eye
And said, “I’ll always be your dad.”
I really miss you, Father.
I see you often in my mind.
I’m glad God gave me to you.
You are one of a kind.
