“A Father’s Love”
A father’s love is endless,
his wisdom will live on,
in every quiet moment,
we feel that he’s not gone.
His voice, a steady comfort,
his smile, a guiding light,
his strength we still remember
when facing darkest night.
He taught us with his actions,
he led us with his heart,
and even though we’re parted,
we’re never far apart.
We carry on his kindness,
his laughter and his grace,
and in our fondest memories,
we still see his face.
So while we grieve his leaving,
we thank him every day,
for all the love he gave us,
and the path he paved our way.
