You held our hand
When we was small
You caught us when we fell
You’re the hero of our childhood
And our later years as well
And every time we think of you
Our hearts still fill with pride
Though we’ll miss you, Dad
We know you’re by our side.
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and through rain
We know you’re watching over us
Until we meet again
Love,
Your children
