Dickie Poem by Hazel Durham
Dickie
I will always remember your joyfulness,
The way you liked being the best,
The cauliflowers, cabbages, tomatoes you grew,
Were the biggest by far, than all the rest,
Like yourself a big man, tall and broad,
Sparkling blue eyes, warmest smile you ever saw,
Booming voice, as compelling as your presence,
Honest, so, so kind like an angel from heaven,
Your simple ways, were as pure as the land you loved,
Roses and tulips blooming in abundance,
From gifted hands, that toiled so hard.
You spoke your mind, your morals strong,
Standing up when people did wrong,
You were known by so many,
People drawn to your warmth and charm,
You have gone from us all, many a year,
Our hearts ache, as our eyes fill with tears,
The man we knew as Dickie who had no fear,
We wish he was back beside us near,
His character and soul lives on around us,
True goodness and happiness lingering on,
My dad's unique spirit everlasting,
As the earth we live on.
I love how you can describe a person in your poems. My condalences.
A poem which is very personal and therefore appealing. A poet who is a right judge of others alone can be so honest and still be genuine like you Ms Hazel Durham
