Big and strong, always there for us
You were known as a teddy bear
Though the size of a gentle giant
Those who knew you well
Knew your ways and wishes
People loved you as you were
For you were always a laugh
I enjoyed our time together
Just wish it were longer
We miss you greatly now
As if a huge void
Our time together was relatively short
You suffered so during your stay
It hardly seems fair
To such a gentle man
You lived your life right
And treated others with respect
That brings up the question
Why you? Why so early?
You managed your family well
Did without to provide
It seemed that is what you wanted most
But you were taken at such an early age
You cared for all of us
And when your time came
We cared for you as best we could
Making mistakes along the way
Our times together are missed so much
Our crocket in the yard
The fishing in the nearby lakes
The simple talks and laughs together
That is what you were all about
There is a void on this earth of ours now
Since you have been taken from us
I know the Lord knows when its your time
But our time was so short
Life hardly seems fair
For someone like you to suffer as you did
Kind and gentle, that was your way
Big and strong, that's what you were for us
We miss you Dad
