Father    

Friend and Teacher

Helper and Leader

To you I looked in times of trouble.

I always knew that you were there.

Father

Never afraid

Or so it seemed 

Of obstacles that o'er me loomed.

Father

Spiritual head

     Who talked with me  

Of life and God's great kingdom.

Father

A man

A mission

And a love to share.

       Thanks for all your care.     

I hope you are aware that

I'm not sad to call you Dad,

But proud to call you Father.
