Papa and Me

There comes a time in the life of us all when we're no longer hindered and appreciate the small Like birds of childhood to recall When papa would sit near the barns swinging door To teach us their colors and what Protection is for They'd chirp and sing and suddenly soar Oh...If I could return to yesteryear Kindling the love that he taught Just close my eyes and suddenly I would want for naught Knowing love can never be bought 5/4/13
