Daddy At 35 - Would Be 85 Today


My daddy would be 85 years old today,

two days before our country's semiquincentennial.


July 4, 1976 was a Sunday.

It was our country's bicentennial.

Our church had an 

"old-fashioned day" 

to celebrate the occasion.

My daddy had turned 35 years old two days before then

on July 2, 1976.

We had a cake with an American flag 

to celebrate the occasion. 


I will always wish we had more time with him.

He was the best man ever.
