A humble life
Full of love without the words
He taught us how to be kind
Even when we were left behind
He showed us how to control our anger
Even when we were faced with danger
A beautiful face without many wrinkles
A heart of gold that never waivered
A common man who barked at dogs
Driving a van to and fro
Many days spent on the road
A beautiful spirit inside and out
Never heard him cuss or shout
Many of his words were never spoken
And sometimes life left him broken
A spirit so sweet with and even temper
Strong and kind
With a beautiful mind
He helped many without a word
Good advice is all I heard
So precious and wise
With pretty blue eyes
Hair dyed black as coal
Never wanting to grow old
Welding with steel
Burning his hands
Building structures that would always stand
Such a wonderful earthly father
No other man should even bother
To strive to be as good as him
Because he was a precious gem
He has been called the best daddy ever
And he will live in our hearts forever
He loved us all until the day he died
So thankful we could be by his side
Spending time night and day
By the bed where he lay
Waiting for his time to cross that shore
Where Jesus was waiting at the door
