A man of courage with strong back. <br />of clean nails and tender hands <br />of well-combed hair and Old Spice <br />of red lips and heart so wise; <br /> <br />of sad eyes, but happy will <br />of yellow teeth and firm nose <br />of laughing cheeks and warm chest <br />of walking feet and Sunday's best. <br /> <br />My Dad's a prize from Heaven up! <br />In God's delight, a family - <br />of work and lessons everyday <br />And love for all, he'd always say. <br /> <br />To Hannibal, he left me then <br />to Sacred Heart - I don't know when <br />and peace and love for all to pray <br />be strong in faith, the angels say! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />P. S. <br />I love you, Daddy. May you and all the faithful departed rest with GOD forever.<br /><br />rose flores rosevoc2<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-portrait-of-my-dad/
