Daddy Was a Poet

Daddy Was a Poet! He's been gone, decades now. Beneath God's greenery he sleeps. His daughter, I, thick-headed, Now stands and vainly weeps. I saw his heart open like a lovely rose. Bountiful amounts of times. I saw his heart weep torrents of rain. Daddy so felt other peoples' pain! I thank him now for this inheritance, I just never understood till today!! What a great joy it shall be for me To meet my Daddy in heaven and To thank him....and walk celestial ways. Panagiota Romios 5/1/2019 9:00am PST

I know your Daddy is loving these wonderful poems. Is there perchance one of his you could sneak into one of your own and give him credit?

Hi Panagiota, a sad but awesome write - your daddy is very proud of you and is smiling down on you everyday, no matter, snow, rain or shine! My Grandfather wrote poems, and in fact I posted a poem that my grandfather sent me years ago - 'My dearest Jennifer', if you have time, maybe look it up. Hugs, Jennifer
