A Tribute to Papa - 10 Years
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - January 22, 2006
My dear wonderful Papa, do you know I still love you so
I'm sorry that I never heeded your words that it was time to go
At work two days later your wife called to say you died
Together over the phone Papa how the two of us cried

You've been in Heaven now living in your Mansion for ten years
Do you know when I think of you it still brings on the tears
I can't forgive myself for not coming when you said that you were lost
Trust me, dear Papa, I'm still paying the very high price and cost
My dear sweet Papa, you always said we were two peas in a pod
I can still hear your peaching and your strong beliefs of God
Me sneaking out to the movies when I thought I'd be alone
Little did I know that my girlfirend would use the pphone

How I loved you Papa, how I cried when Mama tore us apart
I could never figure out the way to mending a broken heart
Yet, I know that I would find you again, my brother often saw my frown
I knew it in my heart always that he'd never let me down
We often wrote each other, as I told you I had two boys
I told you all about my husband and how they were all precious joys
I'm grateful that you gave me the talent of poetry to write
Now I'm the one who gets the answers whether early morn or late at night

I still remember how we would help each other if we were in trouble
How we confused Mama often when we acted as each other's double
The nights you'd sneak out with Aunt Gracie, did you think I didn't see
You never had anything to worry about, cause your secrets were left with me
Papa can you hear me is sung by the lovely Barbra Streisand.  I used this song for entertainment purposes only.  I take no credit for it.
I have been up all night working on this page... and I am SO THRILLED!!!  This is my FIRST web set page I did on my own!  PTL!!!
