R.I.P. Daddy Pooh 4/19/12

Grandfather wasn’t your preference
From the gray hairs struggling to reach its black roots
Age couldn’t define your eternal youth
You are my
Daddy pooh
That was your preference
You weren’t the most perfect man in the world
But is there even such a thing as perfection?
Providing unlimited love with every kiss on my cheek
Fulfilling deeds unnecessarily this is the man I will never forget
Cooking to satisfy appetites where nourishment was overdue
The epitome of jazz
Musician at heart
You gave me my first organ player
That I played faithfully until mental exhaustion overcame me
Standing over my shoulders
Showing me the ropes
Tying knots at points of contact so I wouldn’t get lost
Now I’m swimming in unanswered questions
Drowning at the thoughts of your critical condition
You can’t leave this district of hearts that need your beat
Your drums have moved me
Forever pounding through me
You introduced my soul
Broaden my horizons before I could even comprehend the value of your wealth
Easily dealt
I can’t forget those nights bowling
Casino after casino living a Nevada lifestyle
Cigarette breaks were your frequency
I always hated to see anyone smoke
But I always loved to make you smile
Many road trips to see your face
Your presence I’d feel all over me
Even if you were in the furthest room
Creaking wood cracks couldn’t silence your footsteps
Now you lay to rest from all that walking into joyous hearts
God said you needed a break
Your purpose was fulfilled
Blood running through fields of everlasting family generations
Passing on family greatness
Passion mixed with conversation
That’s how we will remember your language
Daddy pooh
I ask God to protect you like my other grandmother and Papa
That you all dance in white gowns pain free living wholeheartedly
Arched backs posture gracing every corner of heavens holy palace.
Make sure you watch down on us
Help me to make the right decisions before I get left with knife incisions
I’m happy for you.
As long as you’re happy for eternity
Daddy pooh.
I love you.
We love you.
Forever.
Amen.
