Dad – My Special Friend
Come here so I can tell you the story about Dad
He was a special man and such a wonderful angel.
He was my true hero and my very best friend
He showed me how to dream and expect the best.
He was so humble and always here to listen
He seemed to understand even before I spoke.
He was a wise man who gave such practical advice
He had a blessed life and made such a difference.
He encouraged me to pursue my dreams in life
A higher degree and a life of helping others.
He always made sure that everyone was included
He reached out to those that needed it the most.
He challenged me in so many important ways
He accepted me for all my ideals and thoughts
I found a canvas to paint with my own rainbow colors
As he opened the gateway with the key of knowledge
He came to me as the eagle lifted him toward heaven
At eternal peace with the flame burning brightly.
I will miss you so very much my precious Dad
You will live on always in my heart and soul
Showing me the way to live and know what matters
Thank you Dad for loving me like you did
And being my special friend.
