Memories of a Father and Daughter

                     

           

Walking to church,

Hand in hand;

Father and daughter,

Now, isn’t that grand!

Drive-in movies, Grant’s Farm,

The Zoo;

And don’t forget walking

On Daddy’s shoes!

                                   

       Magic tricks, Library trips,

Frankenstein films at night;

Christmases and Easters

Were made to delight.

                                               

           

Arrows on the walls,

Leading down the stairs.

A racetrack for the boys!

Now, who put that there?

           

Meremac Hills,

Mom and Pop, and Rex;

And airplanes to fly,

Airplanes that wrecked!

Standing in line,

Report cards in hand.

Dad exclaims to each one,

“Now, Isn’t that grand!”

Rebellious teens;

Did he know what to do?

Of course not!  Who does!

But he pretended too.

Grandchildren came;

They grow up so fast.

Now great-grands are here,

To make the magic last.

Walking together,

Hand in hand;

A father and daughter;

Now, Isn’t that grand?
