For Dad. . . To be heard, without saying a word, To be hugged when I’m felling blue, To be understood, when I’m confused, So rare was a Dad like you. Your loving smile, and gentle laugh, Made all the difference in my day. Your endless wisdom, and timeless advice Always helped me find my way. In you there was no equal, You were in a class all your own. And because of all, the love you gave me, I’ll never be alone. It’s an honor to have known you, To have shared stories and dreams. I’ll always think of you smiling, No matter how tough life seems. You’re still special beyond compare, Your heart so kind and true, I wish that everyone on earth, Could have had such a Dad like you!
