Daddy did his chores usually with a smile on his face but he always wanted free time to enjoy part of the day!...

Silver strands sprinkled his remaining hair Quick laughter bubbled as smile adorned his face A worker doing good job with little flair As the silver strands increased more into master's race In times of trouble his silver heart was my hiding place He still adored me when silver touched my hair Still to him I was daddy's little girl Deep within my heart I knew how much he did care My silver haired father my dear priceless pearl If he was here now I would dance and whirl Contest: Silver Strands Sponsor: Susan Burch

Reminds me of an old Gene Autry tune. Once again, good wording and rhyming in this fine presentation.

This is a sweet poem for your father! I wish he was here so you could be there with him again! Yeah, we all tend to get those silver strands...I have them as my hair is mostly silver anyway. I hope you have fond memories of your father as this poem shows that you loved him very much!! Great work!!
