When we think of our Dad

Our hearts fill with love

Even though he’s not with us

We know he’ll guide us from above

We’ll always have great memories

To cherish through the years

He’d want us all to smile

And wipe away the tears

He’d want us all to think about

The good times that we shared

And to always love each other

And remember how much he cared

For his family meant the world to him

We were the sunshine in his life

From his kids to great-grandchildren

But most importantly his wife

The fondest memories we all have

Is his sparkling eyes and crooked grin

The laughter he created

That seemed to flow from him

Dad loved to sing and dance

And enjoy life to the max

He tried to play the violin

Thank God we didn’t have a sax

Dad always loved his animals

From Daisy to old Chief

He even liked old Flash

Although he caused him lots of grief

Dad was always there for us

Any time of the day or night

And we knew if we would listen

It would always turn out right

Dad always liked a challenge

And never backed away

He went about his work

In a calm and quiet way

Dad could always make us laugh

And brighten the darkest day

And make us all feel better

In his own special way

The angels who will hold him

In heaven up above

Have just received a special gift

Our greatest love
