Memory PAD 11-1

  We Went by One Name

 

We went by one name, where Dad was concerned
KathyJudyLindaConnieKaren
Or sometimes Sassafras, Smokey or Sam
Over the years, we got with the program

Answer to anything is what we learned

As Dad got older, his memory churned
By little discrepancies we were warned
We all realized we were in a jam
We went by one name

Gradually the situation turned     
He didn’t know us and we felt burned
But he could still say, this great refrain,
KathyJudyLindaConnieKaren
We are Shannons, the name given, not earned
We went by one name
