Daddy: For Miguel Flores
Daddy; time to say goodnight
Daddy; time for goodnight kisses
Daddy; time to stall want just a few more minutes with you
Daddy; Can you teach me to drive?
Daddy; Can you take my hand this college thing is so tough?
Daddy; I remember those antiques
Daddy I remember listening to those records
Daddy; I remember those sleepless nights
Daddy; I remember those worried thoughts
Daddy; I remember your love for your daughters
Daddy; your smiles so bright with each grandchild born
The years of struggle
The lessons so true
A love so pure
Daddy; I hold you close so unfair you had to go
Daddy; I need to hold your hand one more time
I need one more hug, one more encouraging thought before you left
My heart hurts
Long for your strong embrace
Daddy; we are all going to miss that infectious smile
The memories we share with you is all we have left
We shall carry on with your loving eyes watching closely down on us all
Till we meet again
Goodnight daddy I love you so……
