--- You taught us courage, to stand tall and true, To face this world the way You knew. And though we miss you more each day, Your voice still guides us on our way. We’ll carry your heart wherever we go, In the smiles you gave, in the love we know. Gone from our sight, but never apart— Forever our dad, forever our heart.
