Dancing on Daddy's Shoes
by Eternum 1
i'm escorting her down the aisle
aristocratic curls and a great big smile
seems like it was yesterday
when we let those guitars play
she would dance on daddy's shoes
with baby steps, she learned the moves
when I laughed, she'd pretend to frown
lift her up, spinning round and round
she was just the cutest pearl
always daddy's litle girl
dancing on daddy's shoes...
re bop a skiddly bop ah layhee
pleased as punch, it's her wedding day
the day old dad gives her away
still i think about the way
she danced on her daddy's shoes
re bop a skiddly bop ah layhee

In Death Remembered
by Winsome
In the shadowed path of footprints
where mourners have stood and wept
over the body where it slept
in bed of grass
so carefully groomed
Dreaming ~
under shade of tree
that so beautifully grew
I pause….
to smile
To be pleased
as I quietly pass
….Turning
from the caress of stone,
Embracing
the scent, the touch of roses left
Again and again
knowing
I’ve not been
forgotten yet…
