Grizly Adams
A vivid memory of childhood, overall one of the best
Running to the TV, brimming with excitement and anticipation
Waiting to find out, what will be today’s quest
I lived for the man who taught us integrity, honor, and trust
You could easily say I was beyond being obsessed
I would be glued to the TV whether it was a rerun or new
Just to meet him once, as a child my only request
Many years passing, now a mother myself
My childhood dream came and went unaddressed
Now volunteering to help raise money for juvenile diabetes
Unaware who is invited to the event as DOCS special guest
All working diligently for the great cause at hand
The big day is nearing, who’s invited now expressed
Nervous and excited, I can’t believe what I am hearing
My childhood dream coming true, I must be blessed
Everything I had hoped for he exceeded with ease
To meet him in real life, you could only be impressed
So many years later, still touching so many lives
Something very special, Dan Haggerty has always possessed
I am honored to know him and have him in my life
To have a friend in Grizzly Adams, never would I have guessed
