A Fatherly Smile
Dave Cross
1948- 2025
Father to Daughter
Blood runs thick
As thieves
They stick
From cradling a
Bundle in bunches
To wrapped in hugs by
His bundle in bunches
Hands held from
The beginning
Held tight
To the end
An understanding
No words required
Enduring love
Never tired
Together through
The toughest times
Celebrations in
Spontaneous rhymes
A fatherly smile
A cheeky wink
Love understood
Even through a blink
Llangollen Barcelona
Eighties soft rock
Angus & Buster
The shaggiest dogs
Cramped car journeys
Out for a whirl
A consultant coffee
His number one girl
Memories formed
Held safe in the heart
Father and daughter
Death cannot part
Grief a reminder
Of the strongest bond
Smile and remember
The memories fond
