Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

A Daddy and His Little Girl

Sitting in my car in a supermarket parking lot

While Cathie was inside buying out the store

I watched the interaction between

A daddy and his adorable little two year old girl

Such a sweet moment watching this tender scene unfold

It brought a lump to this old geezer's throat

The love that this wee tyke felt was returned by her tiny giggles

And the happiness showed all over her pretty young face

This sweet moment could easily have been missed

By all the busy passers-by wrapped up in their own busy day

But these charming little vignettes

Are what makes life such a joy to behold

If we would only take time to stop and observe

So sweet, “daddy and his little girl!”

Carol Eastman January 20, 2015 at 7:46 AM A Daddy and his little girl in a Super market is so sweet and like Dragon there, I think.The only difference is my little tyke, flattens the grocery cart when he climbs on. And once he tried to run and slide down an isle. Well...What can I say! Bad Dragon! Clean up in that isle, today! He loves his baby cart and fills it to the brim. Yes, you guessed it, with barbecue sauce, again! But remember to stay out of his way, the isles are rather narrow, I say! Had to save a Senior, just the other day.

So many questions... YIKES! xxxx
