Silent and Strong
Our father never looks for praises and is never one to boast.
We always see him quietly working for those he loves the most,
He seldom speaks about his dreams and his wants are very few.
And most of the time his worries will go unspoken too.
He is our firm foundation and he is always there through all our storms of life.
We hold on to his sturdy life in times of stress and strife,
And he is a true friend we can turn to in good times and in bad.
We feel that Dad's presence never left us nor do we feel it gone now.
Our world is a little less bright since we all miss his conversation, his counsel and his smile.
But his spirit is stilll with us in our body, heart, mind and soul.
In heaven he will always be close by to listen, to protect us and support us when we need it.
We are all immeasurably stronger for having him as our father, and that is all he ever wanted for us.
One of our greatest blessings, the man we call OUR DAD.
We miss you, we love you and we'll talk to you soon.
