When I was a little girl, he was a strong and gentle man
I thought that if anyone can do it, my daddy can
He always had a kind word, he never met a stranger
He did the best he could to keep his family form danger
He was always helping someone, I don't think he could say no
Everyone says he's a grwat man, and I agree that it is so
He taught us good from bad and to always do what's right
And many times I've failed him and I couldn't see the light
We have grown apart in recent years, I have a different life
I know it really hurts him and it causes him much strife
There are many times I sit around and then I go to wishing
That I could just go sit with him or maybe we'd go fishing
He's the greates man I've ever known, and he has been since my birth
I couldn't find a better dad if I searched the entire earth
I miss things done with my dad and the places we would go
I love him more than any man and I wrote this so he'd know.
