A man with a heart as big as the sky
A man
with a constant twinkle in his eye
A friend
with a smile, making you feel fine
A joker
with an answer to anyone's line
A small man in stature
but inside he stood tall
A big man, a giant
An inspiration to us all
For all his problems
known only to a few
He counted his blessings
and let the sun shine through
We'll miss you Dear Dad
Our love will not end
God bless you and keep you
Till we meet again
