DAD
My father bounced me on his knee
And kissed my head of curls;
He hugged the daylights out of me,
Said I was his special girl.
I was only little then;
A tiny tot, was I.
My dad was always there for me,
Whenever I'd laugh or cry.
He'd laugh away the hours,
And dry my saddened tears.
He was my pillar of iron
All throughout the years.
I became a teen and there he was:
A worrisome dad, indeed.
He'd lecture, scold or console -
Whichever I would need.
Then I grew up and moved away;
A child no more to be.
But his love was reassuring -
He was always there for me.
When I got down and in the dumps,
He always pulled me through.
He'd wash away my lonely tears
And make my gray skies blue.
He hugged the daylights out of me
And kissed my head of curls,
I miss him as he used to say
That I was his special girl.

OLD SALT
I went to visit Dad today.
He never said a word.
The pounding of my breaking heart
Was the only sound I heard.
Does he hear me when I tell him
That I miss him very much;
Every day's a silent torment
Without my father's touch.
I miss the way he used to smile
At the silly things I'd say.
I'm here now with my memory
Ever since he went away.
So, here I am at Dad's place
To tell him I still care -
And standing near his Marker,
Old Glory's waving there.
++++++++++++++++++++
Happy Fathers' Day, Dad.
I love you and miss you.
++++++++++++++++++++
