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…… David Grasby Jr 02/08/2017
