Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you,
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times when
I always looked at you;
No matter what happened in my life
you always made my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound had been erased.

Dad, who can I turn to
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when pieces just don't fit?

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never erase.
