TO THE MEMORY OF

MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND,
SOULMATE, BEST FRIEND
AND THE BEST FATHER
ANYONE COULD WISH FOR
to follow your dreams
and try to be all you can be.
He's someone who listens to your
point of view
(though sometimes he may disagree).
He's someone who loves you
no matter what happens
and sees you through
good times and bad.
He's someone who's there for you
time after time -
He's your mentor and friend...
He's your Dad
Anon.
folded silently in prayer
and reaching out to hold
me when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story
in the calluses and lines.
Years of work and worry
had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy's hands,
how they held my Mama tight
and patted my back for
something I'd done right.
There are things I've forgotten
that I loved about that man,
but I'll always remember
the love in Daddy's hands.
Daddy's hands were soft
and kind when I was crying.
Daddy's hands were hard as
steel when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle,
but I've come to understand,
there was always love
in Daddy's hands.
I remember Daddy's hands
working 'til they bled,
sacrificed unselfishly just
to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over,
I'd live my life again,
and never take for granted
the love in Daddy's hands.
