That tall, handsome man who held me before I could walk He with strong hands that applauded just as I learned to talk Who held my bike seat and ran along side me His strides far wider than I could even see?
Once, with a pencil, he drew the boat he rode inside...when war came and he left with the tide.
His smile was kind; his workday long; his whistle always warbled a mellow song. Sharp was his mind; gentle his ways; kind was his heart all of his days!
I'd only known him since I arrived on this earth He was there...loving me from the day of my birth. Somehow, even now, I can feel him around And I know that someday when I leave this ground I'll see him again and he'll guide me as before Toward our Father's heavenly home and the open door.
My Dad!
Wishing all fathers and fathers-to-be a very Happy Father's Day!
