A memory of Daddy


Lisa Noe*Cat2*





It happened long ago on Keesler Air Force Base


I went to the NCO club, which was our favorite place


Daddy and I would visit here every Sunday morn.


The food we ordered was very Southern


Biscuits and gravy and french toast


That is what I liked the most





Sometimes we’d go and fish


But I detested that dish


So we’d always throw them back


But fun we did not lack


We'd catch some flounders on our hooks


But that we never cooked.





Then to the park we would go


I ‘d swing too and fro


Go down the slide a time or two


I would always over do


But the fun that we had


Always made me love my dad





That is a memory that I cherish


And it will never perish


My dad is gone now


But I shall always be his pal


He called me shadow


That was many years ago





Special are my memories


He made us the best of families


All of us adored him


His light will never dim


I miss him so much


As I loved him a bunch.








a special man was he


I love you daddy!
