Dawdy Poem by Randi Nicole Dement

To my favorite Dawdy, From your favorite daughter,
Your love engulfs me like a huge body of water.
It surrounds me entirely and won't let go,
I could swim in it all day, it never leaves, this I do know.

You got such a tough exterior, but I break it down,
Nothing beats love for a child, I wear the crown.
Hunting, racing, and the Elks Lodge, you love,
But, I know you'd throw it all away, for me, who you think the world of.

Your not a Hero, to this great big world,
But a hero, you are to your little girl.
You've helped me so much, I'd be lost without you,
Never in this lifetime, could I ever thank you!

Fun times at the lake, or on the river,
You always tuck me in at night, making sure I don't shiver.
Riding the Four-wheeler, or in the back of a truck,
We always had a blast, until we got stuck!

Potato Soup, dear Chili, and homemade Pizza, My favorites, you knew
I always looked forward to dinners with you!
One Of my favorite memories though, is you and Dakota, playing with the bowl.
She laughed so hard, as did we, You'd be a great papaw, love beyond control.

I'm writing you this poem, to keep and read forever
To remind you I love you, and it will never sever.
I hope you have a great Fathers Day and Birthday,
I'm wishing you the best, I love you, In a BIG way!
