Pop, Pawpaw, Daddy
We each called you something different
And for each the relationship was distinctive
Pop taught me The Lord’s Prayer,
The alphabet, how to count, and how to drive a car from here to there
Pop taught me the Twenty-Third number of Psalms
And how to be tough and not back down from any qualms
Pawpaw loved me best!
I stood out from the rest!
I was the one and only!
The apple of his eye, to him I could do no wrong!
Pawpaw loved having a grandchild to call his own!
Daddy, God sent me to you when you needed me most
Through this journey, our amazing bond continued to grow
I loved the laughs and talks we shared
I am forever thankful for the opportunity to show you just how much I cared
Getting you to try new foods was definitely a feat!
I will always cherish the memories that were made between you and me!
You were such a big part of my world
I will always be a daddy’s girl
Pop, Pawpaw, Daddy
No matter the title, the message remains the same
We love you and will remember you always.
