To My Dad
Her tribute to E.R. Sans, the Coyote Man — 'the hero of our dreams, the well beloved, the noblest and the best.'
To My Dad
To every one upon this earth it seems
Some special one means more than all the rest.
Deep in our hearts the hero of our dreams,
The well beloved, the noblest and the best.
When reverie recalls me down the years
To that far time when memory first began
I see you as my hero, brave and true-
I knew there could not be a greater man.
And still that truth is with me as so oft
I think of you who made my childhood glad.
Of all the heroes I have ever known,
The greatest one to me is still my Dad.
Mabel E. Plaskett,
April 23, 1939.
