  To My Daddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One year ago, you slipped away
    to Jesus – in your sleep.
And left us all in this world’s fray
    Vigil for our souls to keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days and time on heaven’s wing
    Don’t hold the same value,
For us left here that morning
    Dec. 19, your 1st beyond the blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits that fit a Blowers kin:
    Aglility, music, and zest for truth,
Loving discipline, souls to win,
    Hymns of faith and love of youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are things time won’t dim
    For you have taught them well.
Time is little enough to skim
    the depths eternity will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this Dec. 19th we could not wish you back.
    We rejoice your suffering’s done
The victory won- pain you lack,
     And you and Mother are with the Son!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Anita Lois <\/p>\n\n\n\n
