You have been gone now for so many years
but, thinking of you still brings on the tears.
Those last times we had were fun and were good
watching and helping you shape all that wood.
Those days in your shop were the last I remember
and I always think of you every September.
I was glad that you got to meet my new wife
yet saddened that my daughter has you not in her life.
You would be proud to know her and she to know you
and maybe one day when her life is through,
you can meet her and greet her with your friendly smile
and show those things that made life worthwhile.
We'll always remember how much fun we had
and I always will love you because you're still my dad!
Here's a box of tissues for y'all.....
