IN MEMORY OF DADDY....


In loving memory of Daddy, who died Oct. 29th, 1996 at the age of 92 1/2...........my Hero!!

DAD


Thank you for the spankings, Dad
They taught me some respect
And thanks for the pep talks
That caused me to reflect:
Why be a "Follower"
When a "Leader's" more correct?
And thanks for never letting me
Lose my self-respect.

I appreciate your guidance
Taking me to Church
Correcting my posture
Even when it hurt;
When I did not wet my bed
You bought me a fur muff
Threatned me with bodily harm
When I took a puff.

I appreciate your anger now
And looking back at us
I have to stop and smile
I'm sorry for the fuss;
I must have been a brat
Yet your love saw me through
Eleven years have gone, Dad
But not my love for YOU.
