If Sheri listens quietly
There just may be a chance
She will hear the sound of yesterday
In the pictures from the past
You know that precious picture
of the girls on Halloween
taken at the hardware store
" Candy Daddy please.."
The one where Bob is smiling
His Princesses, his delight
Sheri can hear his deep voice
saying "Ask your Mom if it's alright
The sounds those pictures hold
If she listens carefully
Are the sounds of Bob, she'll hold on to
When Bob's shadow is to dark to see...
Bless your hear, Sheri! What a beautiful way you've touched the past with this poetry....
ReplyDeleteWe spent Father's Day with my mother in her unit. She & I partnered while Dad & my husband played their own hands. To our delight, we women won! Later (after the men went back to Dad's condo to watch golf tournament) Mother and I put together 3-piece wooden teddy bears (head, shirt/blouse, pants/skirts & shoes). As usual, Mother didn't get past the expression on the faces of the teddy bears. (I finally put a "sad" face and an "angry" face back in the box.) She is SO observant of facial expressions!
