Everywhere I go, I look and stare at cute little old men,
My thoughts of you and where they’ve been,
Does he have a family and a little girl like me,
he looked like my Daddy to a T.
The way he moves and and makes expressions,
The sound of his voice reminds me of life’s lesson,
I took to much for granted, thinking you’d be on earth forever,
My idea was not so clever,
You surely must like Heaven better,
My rock that held life together
I sure miss you Daddy!!

MY DEAREST DADDY


Hold me Daddy a little bit longer,
For death I was severely scared,
I'm thinking, I'm not any stronger,
But now, our life on earth who cares.

In your little girls eyes, you could do no wrong,
My heart is filled with pride
I've looked at you, so tough and strong,
I felt you were my guide.

When Daily, I start without you,
I feel like I could fall apart,
I remember how you loved me too,
And I know your in my heart.

I think of you and feel you by my side,
I talk to you and often hear your voice,
My aching heart fills with pride,
For answering me was was your choice.

I love you Daddy, you must know,
It's truly comes from the heart,
For the days gone by was hard to show,
But I was your special little fart.

Some days are filled with sadness, Others with a grin,
Many memories, are so dear,
Like moonlighting with my Daddy, Friend,
Oh, How I miss you, I wish you were near.

The room was filled with love, everyone did pray,
As your breaths didn't grow any stronger,
With tearful eyes we watched and saw you pass away,
I couldn't realize, I didn't have my Daddy any longer.

So, truly, I still haven't really lost you,
My Angel, Daddy, Friend,
Our memories never die too,
For in Heaven is where we meet again.


  Although I never liked my nickname,
          I will always love you,
               Your little Pooter

My Darling Husband
Sometimes I just sit quietly
   Reflecting for a while
   Imagining your voice,      
   your face, your warm
     and loving smile.

 For its so lovely to recall
The happy times we had
When you played such a         
   special role, as both                          
    Husband and Dad.

 And at this very special time,
   I only wish you knew
That I'd give all the world today,
to spend one more hour with you

   But I still have my Memories
  Bob and since we've been apart,
  It comforts me so much to know
     That you are right here
        in my heart

Remember me with smiles and laughter,
For that is how I will remember you all.
If you can only remember me with tears,
Then don't remember me at all.

Daddy was born Nov. 13, 1936 in a small house in Bloomington, Indiana. He was born into a big family. He had to take on a lot of responsibilities as a small boy. Me helped milk cows, raise animals, and make a living for his family, as a teen he took guardianship of his siblings and helped give them a home. He later married young, had 4 children, then had a failed marriage. And later married again and had 6 children. Life wasn’t always easy,but we made do. 
     He worked for Indiana limestone company in Bloomington, Indiana until he hurt his back. In the late 70’s he had back surgery and his back was wired together. It gave him a lot of pain through the years. He had heart trouble, & lung trouble. He was a loving Husband, &  father, he lived a good life. He is a missed so much.

Oh my special Daddy Man, 
There is no other like you, 
To simply hold my little hand, 
In my heart true love grew.

If I knew way back then,
what I’ve learned today,
you’d be my only true friend, 
the only one I wanted to stay.

My heart’s always lonely and broken,
There’s no one who can fill the empty hole inside,
I’m so full of sadness, for you were my life’s token,
without you Daddy there is no life to abide, 

God gave my heart a special place,
For my loving Daddy deep inside,
My little heartbeat shall always race,
since the day my Daddy died. 
 
Precious Mothers always in pain, 
She worries my little heart and such, 
I’m sure her life you’ll someday gain,
but I’d really miss her very much. 
 
Momma’s gone downhill and bony as can be,
she’s often unstable on her little feet, 
Oh Daddy I’m sure that you can see, 
Life of old age for her is is not so neat. 

Why did God make this plan, 
with so much pain, hurt and sorrow, 
to give us all the loving hands, 
and take them away in his tomorrow. 

How could there honestly be, 
soon another hole in my heart, 
Lord not My loving Mother you see
she needs to stay here with her little fart. 

Oh, Dear lord I’m now ready to go, 
I feel Earthly pain is not for me, 
I’ve done my job and raised my children so,
A world of unhappiness can’t you see.

I can’t live with such a broken heart,
I don’t anymore want to survive, 
Please Just take me as we part,
In Heaven my Daddy and Momma, we’d be alive.
