I THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY, DADDY

I thought of you today, Daddy,

As I so often do;

The man had a cap on his head,

And he looked exactly like you.

Of course he was in the distance,

So I watched him as he walked.

I remembered you at that time in life,

And could even hear you talk.

I often search crowds of people,

To see someone who reminds me of you;

I watch their wave, their walk, their size,

To see if the resemblance is true.

If I could only hold on forever,

To the memories we shared back then;

I would recall them over and over,

And enjoy them all over again.

So I'll keep on searching for someone

Who looks exactly like you;

Then I'll smile and remember,

And enjoy the memory all anew.

And when I arrive on the other shore,

I'll be looking for you,

Enjoying the bliss of Heaven

Way up beyond the blue.
