DADDY MINE

Old fashioned Lullaby-like Tribute to My Father

DADDY  MINE

Lucky was I ,And oh so blessed
To have a Daddy So warm and so kind
Where I sat On his knee ,So adored and carefree
While his eyes poured Out love into mine
Now oft times I find,My heart does rewind
To times in my memory...
When still he was here,And he held me dear
When I sat Upon his knee

Too soon I was grown,The years they had flown
His knees became worn and frail
But the his love ever grew,as did respect too
For a Daddy whose love never failed

He left us too young,when I'd just begun
to see him as both Dad and friend
Out went the man, then new lives began
With his grandsons, all part of the plan

Though they didn't know they Daddy I did
They heard about him often from me
As they listened with glee, of the man who'd Lived
And Loved, and Laughed so very generously
