Waiting For Daddy
© Barbara Bailey
Daddy can you feel me
Do you know I'm near
I wished that I could be with you
To wipe away your tears
I know your hurting daddy
I see it everyday
If only I could help you see
I really am ok
Heaven is so pretty daddy
Me and mommy's there
We're spending time with Jesus
We’ll be waiting for you here
But you have things to do down there
Until your time is done
Oh but when that day comes daddyI
nto your arms I'll run...
Waiting For Daddy by Barbara Bailey Niece Poems
Poem for Dog Lovers

Hello. I've been expecting you for quite some time.
Here, come sit beside us for awhile.
and let me tell you about this old friend of mine.
She might look tattered or maybe old
But I won't say goodbye until you've been told.
She had the brightest eyes I had ever seen,
And wore a beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen.S
he was never prissy but walked with an aire ......
And oh so polite, you could take her most anywhere.
She could run like the wind and could catch anything she chased
But she protected and sat with me when I had problems to face.
You could not find a friend nearly so dear.
Because no matter the trouble she always stayed near...
She has never asked for much from me;
Just to love and respect her and I think you'll agree.
To give her a good meal plus a nice warm bed is not much to ask;
When she has given me all her love and to her this was no task.
Now I understand you have a schedule to keep.
But I have a small favor before she nods off to sleep.
Please fold your wings around her and let her feel young while in no pain;
Dear Guardian Angel of Pets,please keep her safe and happy until I see her again.
