Long Distance-

Long Distance Call to Heaven
For some of Us.

For Father's Day 

Everyone Else, 
Call Your Father
Or, if you can

Make him dinner.

The Times They Are A Changing

LETTER TO HEAVEN

My sweet

Pappa, Was A Rollin' Stone

before he married Mama and became Superman/daddy
Without a doubt and all alone,

The Greatest Man I ever Knew-

(I can still say that)

Daddy, you always stood tall in my life from the very beginning,

You pushed me to pursue,
the daughter ship
while you were my captain.

Papa Don't preach-

 (that was mama's job)

You always, let me fall on my face- just a bit. 
 You, always slightly out of reach!

Just for the sake of enlightenment!

Isn't She Lovely!

Daddy's Little Girl

Until, finally came my wedding day!

There Goes My Life

She's Leaving Home

Dance With My Daughter.

Once more before she says I do!

Sometimes you can't make it on your own-

but some how you do.  

You just keep on, keeping on,
 until you get it right, daughter.

All those late night talks, 

the time you tried to be so strong, and to hide your tears

and in the end, our miles of searching paid off

and we found our beloved lost dog, Mickey.

All those glorious, adventure filled miles, 
(mama cried) long family rides across the country, 

or just up north.

Okay, a few stubborn moments upon my teenage years,

 yet long passed by now.

Then there was the one time, oh so many years
ago, I nearly fell out of the car.

But your arm reached miraculously across the seat

My Superman.  My Daddy. 
I'll never forget.

Family gatherings and fishing stories
 I'll always remember, daddy.

I Learned From You.
Thank you, daddy.

I miss you every single day-
and I see bits and pieces of you in my children and in their children-
that's just one way we keep you close.

Here, let me adjust your boutonniere daddy,

 it's almost time for you to give me away.
