Love Poem: Papa Dale

Papa Dale

I want to take the time tonight
To tell you how I feel
I see that she still loves you 
I know she always will

You were not just a husband
You were not just her friend
You’re still her everything
And that will never end

In her purse she carries with her
Your sweet and tender words
She wants to share them with us all
She wants to show the world

She has the understanding
That life is much too short
She relives it in her memories
The love that you brought forth

Given the chance to start again 
She’d want to be with you
Your loving smile and tender touch
Always saw her through

Though you often picked on her
In your loving and playful way
We all know how much you loved her
She shares that every day. 
 
So now I am going to say goodnight
One more thing left to do
We could never say it near enough
But we'll always love you.
