My Knight In Shinning Armour

Does he know - he lives forever - in my dreams? And that every vision I create - is through his eyes of green. Does he know - I still walk with him - along the shore of Evermore? On that path of make-believe - that led me to a castle door Where as a child I - placed my heart - forever in his hands And wrote – With all my heart – I love daddy - in the sand. In loving memory of my father: October 29 - 1927- August 11, 2003 September 12, 2009 4th place in Michael Jordan's contes 'Inside the Heart'
