Robert Lee Kendrick

Big Daddy you were to me larger than life
Glad to see me and proud of me, no strife
You showed me how to have faith, and be a good wife
Robert Lee, no fuss boss man, toted a big knife.

Iam thinking of the big knife as being more like a big spiritual sword of the word of life, Doris. Boy, the awesome memory, from which the love sap still flows.These are cherished times, that will last into the next life. "CONGRATULATIONS" And thanks for your support, Agape, Moses

Doris, Big Daddy sounds like Hoss Cartwright with a big knife. A softie at heart, I'm sure. Very nice. Thank you for your most welcomed recent comments on my “Chicken Blogs”. Smiles, Dane Ann
