**Dad** 

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile 

If only we could have you back for just a little while 

Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do 

You always meant so much to us—and always will too 

The fact that you’re no longer here will always bring us pain 

But you’re forever in our hearts until we meet again
