I knew a man with a heart of gold
and sunshine on his face
A loving husband and a father
that put others in first place,
I knew a man who was pure of heart
with faith that pulled him through
all the trials of his life
and he never asked his due,
I knew a man who found such joy
in just the little things
a man who saw with loving eyes
and loved church bell rings,
I knew a man with gentle ways
who was wise beyond his years
a man who raised his children well
and wiped away their tears,
I knew this man,I called him Dad
He was kind in every way
He always stood tall and strong
and now he walks with God today.
I wrote this about my Dad a long time ago I've never shared it with another soul.
