It's nearly seven weeks ago, on a warm spring day, When we said good bye and Dad slipped away, An amazing man that no one could compare, Always smiling, joking, handsome even with no hair! No one can deny you were one of a kind, This gentle, sweet, loving Dad of mine. They say time eases grief but its simply not true, For i know time will bring sweet memories of you. My eyes yearn for the face i will no longer see, My heart brakes for your presence that will no longer be. You had a heart as big as a mountain, a man so bold and strong, So many times i leaned on you when life did me wrong. I know you are resting well, but i wish you were near, Your time of suffering was over down here. So mine will continue, my heart is so heavy still, For that special pair of shoes that no one will ever fill. The greatest fortune any woman has ever had, Is held by me, 'cause i called you DAD.
