Father, I Love You


Inspired by Father’s good works
Indubitably enriched by his past
Indelibly molded by his noble example
Father to Child, die is cast
This precious vow, I faithfully renew
Father, I Love You


Encouraged by Father’s genteel spirit
Exemplary, unselfishly bestowed
For rhyme, reason, and purpose
Steadily, surely, forebode
Father's Godly virtues, abidingly accrue
Father, I Love You


Empowered by praise uplifting
Nurtured by words of direction, hath
Securely, unwaveringly, confidently set
My life on sterling path
Venerated Father, forever I do
Love You


To the Hamlin family one and all
from Dave Maschka.......
Please accept my heartfelt words to have and to hold in loving memory of your father and my dear friend and neighbor, Mr. Ralph Hamlin

Sincerely,
