Dearest Dad

You are the greatest.

We can’t ask for more.

God gave us you, our DAD, our soul.

You taught us strength.

You showed us courage.

We’ll be grateful til our last breath.

And now that we seldom meet,

We sometimes ask

How did life become such a big cheat?

But we know this is a test.

We learned to be thankful despite life’s pests.

DAD, we wonder how you are.

We miss your funny antics.

We miss our TV hours.

We miss the soup you cook for us.

We miss business talks you so eagerly discuss.

DAD, we miss you.

Til we meet again someday.

Thank you for the memories that bind us together now.

Thank you for your love that will bind us forever.

Our family will go on with you in our hearts.

Our failures, our triumphs, our fears, our hopes

In everything, we know

We’ll be okay for you brought us up this way.

You will always be our reason for dreaming.

You will always be our reason for being.

Till we meet again, dearest DAD…

Dearest Dad
