For my daddy

Daddy,
Thank you for being the shining example of grace and forgiveness in my life.  I love you always and forever.
Happy 30th Father’s Day,
your little goomba

The years have been many, the years have been long.
But at last I’m returning to Daddy and home.
He’s looking my way, though he hardly can see.
God bless my old daddy, he recognize me.

There’s snow in his hair, and I helped to put it there,
A halo of worry and care.
As my daddy grows old, he’s more precious than gold.
For I cherish the snow in his hair.

His shoulders were bent with the weight of the years.
I scarcely could hold back the flood tide of tears.
He walked with a cane as he hurried along
to meet me,
to welcome me home.

There’s snow in his hair, and I helped to put it there,
A halo of worry and care.
As my daddy grows old, he’s more precious than gold.
For I cherish the snow in his hair.
