Golden Days of Memory



                             Golden memories will never wilt

                                               Of you 

                                   With tools, your truck...

                                      The home you built.

                                     Your precious canines, 

                                           Spot and Lad,

                                       So many memories

                                               Of you 

                                             Dear Dad.

                                        If God holds tears 

                                            Within a var

                                         Over these years

                                      From earth's sore wars

                                         Of love, of work

                                       Of death and sorrow

                                          From day to day

                                       And each tomorrow

                                     Oh Papa! The var must

                                            Needful be

                                          Ever so large

                                        Prepared for me

                                         Receiving tears

                                         Over the years

                                         In loss of past,

                                         In loss of Thee

                                      Until I gain eternity.

                                        
                                             Ravaging

                                     Time of moth and rust...

                                     Yet memories Golden

                                          I hold! I Must!

                                   For though my tears still

                                          Fall, it's true,


                                         For pain of loss

                                        Oh dad! Of you!

                                  I revel in the yesterdays

                                       Peeking through

                                     Time's misty haze.
