I Am Here
I am here little Piggy, you know it
Just look at the smiles around you.
Shari; inside you. You show it.
I walk with my arm wrapped around you.
Craig, in the most quiet moments
You'll know that I'm close; still your dad.
Bubba, I'm here with you always.
Treasure the times that we had.
Erika, child of late days
Through others I'll speak to your heart.
My sister, words never come easy.
You know I loved you from the start.
Sweethearts and friends. I will see you.
Just think of me and I am near.
Remember the laughter that we knew.
Raise your glass. Be of good cheer.

I love how you involved Emily and the rest of his family in this poem. My favorite lines:
Erika, child of late days
Through others I'll speak to your heart.
A fine way to talk to the baby who won't remember him in her own memories.

Thanks.
I must admit, I have a soft spot for young ones. My niece, who is now a full grown 20 year old was one of the best things in my life. I dunno if you've seen my site for kids, but I enjoy writing for them too. -

No, haven't seen your site for kids, but if you want to send the link I'd love to take a look.
