DADDY'S HOME
My Father's Face

 
As I sit on the grass by the garden gate
Surrounded by birds and flowers,
I go back in my mind to another time
Where I whiled away the hours.

I didn't know when I was a child
That time would go so fast;
That I would sit by this garden gate
And gaze into the past.

I close my eyes and think of home
And another time and place.
I see the house, I see the trees,
And I see my father's face.

I see his hands so gnarled and worn;
His face so brown and wise.
But most of all when I look back
I see his smiling eyes.

Many miles I followed him,
My legs so short and slack.
When I would tire and fall behind,
He'd ride me on his back. 

Time passes on and as I grow older
I can sometimes clearly hear
My father's voice so soft and sweet
Still calming all my fears.

My Dad has been gone a year 10/29/04.

Oh Daddy I still miss you more than you know
I can’t seem to get over missing you and Mom
I didn’t know the pain of losing someone
So near and dear could be this bad.

Daddy I miss you each and every day.

Love Jackie
