I Remember Dad

I Remember Dad!

by Martha Duke Manley

The way that you worked the soil,

and made your garden grow.

The beautiful color and

fragrance of each rose caught

everyone's attention as they

would come and go.

The way that you sat so erect on your

fine horse.

As the two of your rode out on your

daily course.

The way that you worked,

you had a good business mind.

And how you would try to help

others,from time to time.

And even though we would occasionally disagree.

There was one thing we knew would always be.

YES, I remember Dad.

How we could see easily.

How much you loved this family.

Love to you, from your daughter

Written in memory of :

Prince Farley Duke, Sr.
