Charles Edger, Charlie, daddy & POP
At times each name applied
depending on life's chapter and who stood at his side
"Charles edger" beamed his parents
as they proudly gave the name
But "charles" was the version that his sister 'mary' claimed
Through many interesting chapters
"Charlie" was his name that was his true claim to fame
It was Charlie to his childhood friends and charlie to his wife..Charlie was the name he heard throughout his professional life
"Daddy" was a special name reserve for only 4
throughout our childhood years it was the name we all adored
Daddy, let's go swimming daddy, sing that song
Daddy take us camping can our friends come along
Daddy, dress for halloween And flock the Christmas tree
Let me sit up on you'r shoulders
So the whole world i can see
We climbed down off his shoulders
And had children of our own
He answered then to "POP' As if it's all he'd ever known
Now each name is sound asleep
A long awaited rest
The name that he'll awaken to
Will be the best one yet
( In Loving Memory of Charlie McClendon)
