Favorite Day

A Narrative Poem

Waking up early,

momma packs us lunch.

You load up the truck.

I grab extra stuff.

Fishing poles in back.

Lunch box in my lap.

These were the best days,

daddy-daughter days.

Time began to pass.

You couldn’t go out.

Laying on the couch.

Your health in decline.

Days without a dad.

Trips all by myself.

Thinking of you on

daddy-daughter days.
