Richard Henry Meyer

Our Dad died too young. He was the first born. He dreamed of flying. He died doing what he loved to do, We have missed himm all my life.You Left The Children Crying.Dedicated to Richard Henry Meyer - PilotYou left usTo go do what you lovedTo flyUp to the heavens.But todayYou would not returnAs you "slipped the surly bonds of earth"Your should soared skywardThis dayYou kissed heavenTo remain there,AND YOU LEFT THE CHILDREN CRYING.I watched an eagle soar, andI see your kindred soul.On dragonfly wingsYou perched upon my shoulder.A tiny bird watches meFrom my window sill.Are you watching Daddy?Do you see?The child who is a woman nowME?Do you love me still?And the grands and gr-grands too?How they have wished to know youAll their lives thru.That dayAs you rode the fury of steelTo crash upon the earthHow I have wishedJust that one dayGravity had failed!ANDTHE CHILDREN ARE STILL CRYING.To my Dad, From his daughter, Carol Frances Meyer Lincks (Age 8 n that day in March, 1945.)
