Imagine a world
Where all your dreams came true
You raised 3 beautiful girls
And a grandson named Lou
You golfed every day
And shot hole in ones
Each year the club pro
And hailed the chosen one
You didn’t need to work
But chose to be a printer
Family always came first
But your work never hindered
You stayed healthy and strong
And steered clear of a colostomy
We chased down Teds Hot dogs
And you never lost to me
A loving husband for nearly 55 years
Been beside your equally loving wife
Through every smile and tear
You wake each morn along the Vegas strip
Where you gorge on buffets
And avoid waitress’s tips
Every nickel you drop
Clanks in the machine
1 bar… 2 bars…
Your eyes light up with green
Can it be… Can it be…
You scream and jeer
Louder and louder
Till the 3rd bar appears
Your face filled with smile
As nickels come roaring
I tap on your shoulder
Papa you’re snoring
You wake from your sleep
Look around and reminisce
It was just a dream
But your life is much like this
With your family all around
To celebrate your life
You’re bombarded with hugs from
Daughters, in-laws, nephews, nieces, friends and wife
HAPPY FATHERS DAY LOVE LOUIS
