DADDY’S
HOME !
By Robert
Blaske
“Daddy’s Home !” she’d yell
down the hall,
And come running - with her
announcement to all.
“Daddy’s Home !” what a joyful
sound to a weary ear.
My little girl’s happy cause her
daddy was here.
“Daddy’s Home !” all welcome the
hero
My energy level climbed up from zero.
Kisses touched both my heart and my
face.
And the day’s troubles were easy to
erase.
“Daddy’s Home !” I don’t hear
much anymore.
But its familiar echo rests in a brain
cell drawer.
True, there’s other sayings there to
recall,
A “Daddy’s Home !” memory
causes tears to fall.
“Daddy’s Home !” – they’re
simple words – only two
I wish that Daddies would listen with
love in their heart.
To know their child’s joyful
hero-trumpeting call.
To know love and feel like he’s ten
feet tall.
“Daddy’s Home !” listen and
you’ve earned a crown
More cherished than riches or being a
man about town.
Give kisses freely, hugs, and be sure
about being careful to listen
Memorize the words freely – cause
some day you’re gonna miss ‘em.
“Daddy’s Home !” let this also be
my goal.
When heavenward I pass with my name on
the role.
Let me run to the throne with a smile,
and joy in my heart,
Knowing I’m safe now cause God, My
Father, has done His part.
Yes, Daddy’s Home.
