There are a few words I could write
On this here Father’s Day.
Words that might describe our dad.
So many things to say.
He’s quite a piece of our work, our Dad.
He’s one amazing critter.
Farmer, Salesman, Trucker, Boss,
He’s surely not a quitter.
He whips the young bucks on the court
His hook shots make you wonder.
He takes the hills on snow machines,
He’s not too old, by thunder!
He’s had rough edges through the years,
But they are smoothing out.
His love comes shining through for us
Of that we have no doubt.
He can take on any challenge
With hammer, nail, and glue
If he just puts his mind to it
There’s nothing he can’t do
He’s taught us self reliance
And faith and trust in God.
And when life knocks you down a bit
Get up and beat the odds.
His life has been devoted
To family and to wife
We’ve seen in his example
The gift of sacrifice.
And now as he gets older
And we think of all he’s done
We thank him for the care he’s giv’n
For each daughter and each son
