Once you had told me When you were gone Id pick up the pieces I would go on But you forgot to mention One tiny detail Somethings arent easy And sometimes I might fail Theres times when the world Seems to rest on my shoulders Not another year wiser Just another year older I try to recall All you had to teach I probably seemed to Be way out of reach Hold your head high And always be strong Never let it show when Things are going wrong Have a firm hand But a gentle touch Use force as a tool Never a crutch Bite your lip Before you cry Always tell the truth And never tell a lie Be a good man Take care of your nest Always be sure To do your best Be hard to shove Stick out your chest You can always love But never go through the test Of your family, and yourself Always be proud Be a leader Never follow the crowd Teach you girls goodness And your boys to be strong Let them know, any road Worth taking may be long Thank God everyday For all that he gives you Follow him always In everything you do Take some advice Only when needed But use your own mind Thats how things get succeeded I realize now how Right you were Everyday seems to get harder Every year is a blur An old man giving lectures Is all I had thought There were lessons to learn And lessons to be taught I grasped one here I grasped one there As you lectured and preached While you sat in your chair I never realized You were on my side Even when you Tanned my hide I wish I wouldve listened More when you were alive But with all youve left me I have learned to survive Im thanking you now Even though its too late And hopefully Ill see You at Heavens great gate Love, Your Son Prayers For Me And My Family Are needed in this Time. Thanks
