Over The Years                      

She stands tall and proud, a mind of her own

Central Florida she calls her home

A mother  of four, never standing Still

A full time job that she loves to fill

Caring and loving in her own special way

If something's on her mind, she'll know what to say

Jess, Matt, Ted, Husband Bruce, the rest of her crew

Loving them all equal and true

A lady with feelings that come from the heart

A dad who's always loved her, right from the start

We've had some rough times now and then

either of us wanting or willing to bend

As the years pass by, time moving so fast

My love for you Karen will always last

Remembering the times that we have shared

I wanted you to know that I truly care 

Knowing you're happy makes me feel good

You deserve the best and well you should

Who knows what the future has in store

For what you have now, you could not ask for more

 I'll always be close, and what I see

A wonderful daughter sharing her love with me

A lady I've missed so much over the years

The love that she offers has filled me with tears

These past few Months that we have spent together

Meant more to me then you will ever know

I Love you so very much Karen,

Dad
