Ladies of Georgia Pre-K and Title I
Dad,
A special dad is hard to find,
You dad Im keeping in my mind,
I wished you could have stayed forever,
But I will never forget you oh not ever.
If dreams werent dreams and dreams came true,
I wouldnt be here Id be with you.
Distance is one thing that keeps us apart,
But dad you will always remain in my heart.
A special smile, a special face,
a special someone I cant replace,
I love you and I always will,
You filled a space that no one will ever replace.
Love,
Bryant
