My Daddy
As far back as I can see,
You were always there with me.
A tiny ghost on your lap did sit,
Even if she threw a fit.
An old Ford truck on a cold dirt road
Me wrapped in a blanket protected from the cold.
Flooded woods you waded through
And again I was there with you.
Cleaning deer and wrapping meat
Those times with you just can’t be beat.
Tending gardens, feeding hogs,
Listening to those old wild dogs.
Sitting in our old deer stand
Freezing toes and freezing hands.
A shot rings out and frightens me
Then I hear, “Hey…Don’t shoot me.”
Through mud and muck and deer and corn
We’ve always lived within “The Horn”.
You are my hero and I’m proud to say,
“I love you Daddy.” Each and every day.
You ARE my hero. Through thick and thin, you were always there for me. Whether you agreed with my decisions or not. Thank you for everything.
Very cool, I wish I could say things like that about mine...
