A TRIBUTE TO FATHER
Those who knew him will agree
No finer person could there be
His acts of kindness did prevail
Caring, sharing without fail
He loved his family, and they did know
Doing what he could to help them grow
He loved his God, Master of all
Ever heeding His beckoning call
He spent his life as a working man
Doing his best, saying "Yes, I Can
I know I'll miss him from the start
But loving memories will stay in my heart.
