    MY DAD

     My Dad is just the finest man
        I've had the privilege to meet.
    I met him when I was a wee little lass
        I sat upon his knee.

    We went thru my early years together
        He taught me things I should know.
    And when it was my time to see the world
        He didn't want to let go.

    Now my Dad is just the finest grand-dad
        They've had the privilege to meet.
    They met when they were wee little ones
        They all sat upon his knee.

    We went thru his later years together
        Still teaching us things we should know.
    And when it was his time to leave this world
        We didn't want to let go.

    Very nice Mau. Know he went on and lives still - in another dimension, yet still in your heart.You expressed your young life and his life very well. - not wanting to let go. Very nice.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
