Daddy

this I dedicate to you Daddy Billy Joe Scott 04/10/1958- 02/20/2020 The eyes I've seen My entire life Are smiling back at me The laugh I've dreamt Is contagious As I knew it would be The words of wisdom My ears have needed I'm tireless just listening And the love that's there In that heart of his Was mine all along The kiss at night Upon my cheek Is forever emblazoned there And the blood in his veins Same as mine Gives a history of me

This poem is darling! What a sweet tribute, and I know a bit of how you feel, seeing my Daddy's face in the mirror every morning.
