Tribute To My Dad

A special dad is hard to find.

You, Dad, I’m keeping in my mind.

I wished you could have stayed forever,

But I will never forget you; oh, not ever.

If dreams weren’t dreams and dreams came true,

I wouldn’t be here; I’d be with you.

Distance is one thing that keeps us apart,

But, Dad, you will always remain in my heart.

A special smile, a special face,

A special someone I can’t replace,

I love you and I always will.

You filled a space that no one else could fulfill.
