He never looked for praises,
He was never one to boast,
He just went on quietly working
For the ones he loved the most.
His dreams were seldom spoken,
His wants were very few,
And most of the time his worries
Went unspoken too.
He was there... a firm foundation
Through all our storms of life,
A sturdy hand to hold on to
In times of stress and strife.
A true friend we could turn to
When times were good or bad,
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we called Dad.
