Ten years without you, dad, And Eight years without mom too, Can’t believe we are apart Take comfort she’s now with you. I miss our times together, Sunday trips, projects at home, Working on all our cars, Talking daily on the phone.. When two, sitting on your lap, Questions answered patiently, About all that I could see, Yearned to know all completely. Each milestone in life, save one, You and mom were there for me, One tightly knit family, In joy, pain, wealth, and poverty. I knew you inside and out, It was most easy to do, No one who knew you could doubt, Your word and values were true. I knew all your few faults, And your many colossal strengths, And always knew without doubt, You to be the better man. You taught me to be a man, Without lectures, and words few, But with examples throughout life, Always to honor be true. Happy Father's Day to you, You’ll live always in my heart, If to your example I’m true, By God’s Grace will again see you.
