Thinking of Dad on His Birthday
I think of you when leaves turn brown;
falling gently to the damp, soft ground.
I think of you in the cool, evening breeze;
sitting quietly under the fall trees.
I think of you as squirrels scamper by,
and birds fly south in the autumn sky.
I think of you as crickets chirp at night;
I'm roasting marshmallows over the fire light.
I think of you almost every day—
your smile, your eyes, your loving way.
Can you believe it's been so many years?
Traveled many miles, cried a million tears.
Do you think of me in that heavenly place?
I just can't wait 'til I see your face!
