A Father’s Wise Words

This is an acrostic poem. The first letter of every line forms a hidden word or phrase. Words to live by from a man who always did his best to keep us smiling.

Kiss goodnight, story time
Earth angels dream above
Early memories on my mind
Paintings filled with love

Happy lunches, time for tea
A game, a laugh with us
Vivid smiles you’d rather see
Instead of saddened fuss
Nights of lights and dance and song
Gleaming in your eyes

Far away, yet always near
Until we meet again
Never forget the fun we had,
and will continue still
