In Memory of "Dad"

Paul Krist
1932-1998


I'm here with dad, and Peaches, who is six months now, on this cool October day. This picture was taken on his grass landing strip on the island. The windsock and hanger are in the background on the right. He owned two small airplanes..

"F"
...is for the Faith you showed
when mine was not so strong.

"A"
...is for the Acceptance you had
when I was so very wrong.

"T"
...is for the Tender love you gave
when I showed so little to you

"H"
...is for the Healing you did
when my life was broken in two.

"E"
...is for the Enjoyment you brought
to my life
when I was too tired to care.

"R"
...is for the Relationship you built
when I didn't think you even cared.

Thank you for being my father,
and above all, my friend.
Watch over me Daddy,
and some day I'll see you again.
