Happy Fathers Day


 


So Humble, Meek and Mild

Sweet and Gentle as a Child.

Never Seen Him Angry,

Always Helping Someone.

Sure, We'd get Our Spankings,

When Mama would Tell Him

A Spanking  Was  Due,            

Afterwhich, He Seemed to Hurt.

When the Crying was Over,

We would say, "Daddy We Forgive You".

Then There was a Gleem in His Eye.

I Miss My Daddy                     

And Sometimes I Still Cry.

Louisa A Dobbins

So you were a naughty girl eh? Getting spanked and all that. Great tribute to your father. Victor

Sounds like a wonderful daddy indeed, I didn't get to experience this part of life, as my mom and dad divorced when I was but a year old. However, I never thought and still do not today think of myself as missing out...for my mom made up the difference and my Papaw was the father figure to me, and you've penned his description through the description of your daddy. He too was gentle but also delivered spankings, I miss him terribly...
Blessings,
