~ My Daddy ~
Today I sat with him and we reminisced
As he spoke of childhood days
His and mine, sharing golden memories
That forever shine
"I cannot forget," he said and smiled
"How I loved holding you when you were just a child"
Then we laughed, remembering moments
Not a few, so somber then but clearly comical in review
Looking back felt warm and fulfilling
As I sensed my love and respect for him distilling
He cried as he told me again of answered prayers
Of faith in God, and of difficult trails his feet had trod
Making a path, not paved, but easy to see... for me
Sometimes I think my life is hard...And at times it is
Not quite like his yet laden with trails of my own...
But that's okay, I've gained strength for tomorrow
By feasting on yesterday with Daddy
