Dad's Walk to "Freedom"
Are you with me?
YES
We are on the shores of Hawaii. Can you see it?
YES
The ocean water is blue and clear. Can you see it Daddy?
YES
The breeze is making ripples on top of the water. Are you there Daddy?
YES
You are walking on the shore.
Who is with you?
THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE, MY CHILDREN
Okay Steve is walking along side next to you
Gary is picking up shells to collect
Me and Juliet are playing in the water
Are you there Daddy?
Can you hear the sound of the birds flying above?
YES
With the smell of the salty air?
YES
We are with you, Daddy, on your walk to "Freedom"
We are with you, Daddy, Good-bye
He smiled and I said "I love you."
