He lived to share what he earned in his life
You his child, his treasure
He trudged, plagued beyond measure
Loved you, so you can achieve more than he did in his strife
He loves, perhaps you know, in his special way
Above all, deep beneath, almost spiritual
Don’t you forget, make him proud so make it mutual
He’d be ecstatic though he is not here today
