My Loved Hero

I've written of him oft before, You will find him on my pages My daddy was my big hero Who was wiser than the sages. I'll admit there have been others Whom I have let into my heart. But my daddy need not worry. No one could ever take his part. He worked hard for his family And never seemed to think of self. If he had needs or wants at all He kept them on an empty shelf. He lived through those depression days Working hard and doing his best. He asked God to send sun and rain And promised he would find the rest. I shared him with my six siblings, They claimed him as their hero too. He labored for us six days then Saved Sunday to give God his due. 4/25/17
