Dear Old Dad

You were the kind of daddy that nurtured us to grow We were taught early in life you reap just what you sow Hard work you would always say never killed anyone You rose early and toiled all day til the setting of the sun When you came home from work all day tired and worn out You gave your love so freely without a shadow of a doubt We could never begin to imagine how much you loved us so The more you had to provide for us the further you would go Spare the rod and spoil the child was not your thing to do You showed how much you cared for us with a love so deep and true Granted that we as children were nothing but hard headed We felled into mischief many times wherever we so treaded To a great Dad that meant all in the world to us A loving God that called you home must have wanted you thus On this vast Earth of ours you were created to show your love A Heavenly gift to us from God sent so lovingly from above Copyright 2013
