Beautiful melodies
Cellos and violins
Stirring memories
New lives, set to begin
Father with daughters
Growing up with each one
Precious treasures to bless
Through Father, Holy Son
Music playing, forevermore
Images of each step
Laughter filling their rooms
Love knocks at our doorstep
Afternoon tea parties
Playing games, singing songs
Favorite storybooks
Life perfect, never wrong
Seeing their eager eyes
Savoring school’s first day
Playing in autumn’s leaves
Days never seem too gray
Watching each girl mature
Life’s incredible ride
Graduation moments
Wedding days at their side
Playing in the background
Peaceful serenity
Past, special moments
Father’s identity
My life has been blessed with a splendid and loving trio of daughters who have made fatherhood a true blessing. I was listening to a rendition of Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon in D Major” as I wrote this poem. I especially enjoy strings or piano (all three of my daughters are accomplished piano players). Here is a sample of the music. Enjoy!
BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beautiful! ❤️My father had a trio of girls too. Although he says were his blessings, I’m sure some were saying many times, “bless his heart” 💚😊
