Big Daddy
Society would have called you a step daddy, but we called you Big
Daddy - and I called you My Daddy - because you were the real
daddy in my life. Ton took care of me, you clothed me, you fed me, I
never wanted for anything. Tou taught me, you lectured me, you
always told me to do my best. When I went wrong, it wasnt your
fault. Tou always told me you cant take nought from nought - If
it aint nothing, you cant make something out of it - nought from
nought leaves nought. It took me many years of making mistakes to
realize you were so right. But today, my life is good - thank to your
teaching, guidance and all those lectures -1 love you, Big Daddy, as I
have told you so many times. ..
And thank you God our Father for giving me a daddy like
BIG DADDY!!!
Rest now with the Lord,
