A Child's Tale

Fast as lightning quick as a flash away I went darting here, running there like a bumble bee I flew so fast that I knew no one could catch me no they couldn't cause I'm the fastest and the baddest I know that I can run so fast but the one that can beat me is my daddy - he's so fast!
In loving memory of my dad; the best friend I ever had, and the fastest man a child has ever seen.

Hi Richard, had to conduct a special search to find you. Somehow we got out of touch; so glad you are swstill here and I can submerge myself in this wonderful verse. Great dads make great friends. Luv, Lizzie
