Dandelion picking on our lawn
Finding four leaf clovers
Green bean picking and pulling carrots
Making snapdragons open
Jigsaw puzzles all year round
Croquet tournaments
Colored steps and hop scotch
Dice games and stacking card towers
Tinsel hung perfectly on our Christmas tree
Dancing with us to Lawrence Welk songs
Bonanza and My Three Sons
Carved figures and oil paintings
Bonfires and buttered popcorn
Ice skating and snow sculptures
Visiting grandparents and sipping wine
Church each Sunday morning
Singing songs and drawing sketches
White ironed shirt and tie
Working hard ’til supper
Naps at noon and bedtime stories
Carrying us horseback up to bed
The biggest smile on any face
Always happy with his beer
Too much around, but shared it
Many friends to visit
These things all remind me of my dad!
Dearly loved and remembered.
Gone home to be with Jesus in 1990 (age 72…too young for him)
Hope you are doing well
Such a precious poem dedicated to your father
