Daddy's Gift To Me The greatest gift my daddy gave To me was just his time. This precious memory that I have Did not cost him one dime. No matter what the time or place, If daddy knew I needed His lap or ear for anything It never went unheeded. I was the apple of his eye And he was my protector He listened to my every word And never yelled or lectured. Daddy taught me many things And we took long walks alone He read to me quite often He was the leader in our home. I remember daddy praying As he lead us through hard times He taught me how to do the same For the babies that are mine. When I walked down the aisle On my precious wedding day Daddy's hand in mine did linger Before he gave me away. Daddy's time he spent with me Left a legacy within For daddy's top priority Made him my closest friend.

Cheryl, very nice. I was never all that close to my parents, so your column hit as a "wow that would have been really nice" type piece. Very well written. Sincerely, Dan Blankenship
