Sounds like my Papa was, he lived for my mom and I and sadly left this world for a more heavenly destination after fighting for a year and a half against bronchial cancer. He was my hero! Hugs and blessing dear Alexis, Jennifer.

Dear Alexis, your tribute to Papa is so heartwarming and real.. I love "Photogenic smile" - it's so evocative of a happy handsome dad that a daughter looks up to with loving pride. A perfect and precious poem and a great use of the letter 'P'. I'm feel like this will top the winner's list, my inspiring friend. Warmest wishes, poetess.. ~Susan
