Dad you held your hand in mine
And helped me walk
You showed me generosity
Kindness and love
As you offered the shirt off your back
To people time and again
To any one of your children
You offered your all
You had your flaws
Who is perfect?
But you were my Dad
And I looked up to you
And you were always
There to protect me
Love me and guide me
How I miss you
But I know the lessons
That you shared
Will live on in generations
To come.
