A Fatherly Smile

 

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
