STAY WITH ME PAPPA by Joanne Boyle

"STAY WITH ME PAPPA"
by Joanne Boyle

I remember the Man

that would sit me on his knee.

The one that sang me nursery rhymes,

the one I called Daddy.

I remember those walks to school,

and how I'd hold your hand.

I'd skip and sometimes hop,

our days were never planned.

Then when I got a boyfriend,

and he broke my heart in two.

You held me as I cried,

knowing he had broke you too.

You then took me to university,

phoned me every day.

Sometimes I didn't answer,

l was led astray.

Then I met my soul mate.

You walked me down the Isle.

You gave me the perfect wedding,

you done it all in style.

The Grandchildren came along,

loved you as much as I.

You gave us many memories,

for those in which I cry.

I try to help you remember,

to stop you going away.

I keep trying to light those memories,

but they are melting every day.

A Daughter and Her Father,

a story forever to be told.

But only one remembers now,

since Dementia has took hold.
