In the quiet hours of dawn,
When the world is still asleep,
I see your face, so calm, so strong,
A memory I forever keep.

You taught me how to stand tall,
Through the storms and through the rain,
Your wisdom echoed in each call,
Easing every bit of pain.

Your hands, so rough yet gentle,
Built dreams from simple clay,
With you, life was monumental,
You showed me the right way.

Now as I walk my path alone,
Your spirit guides me true,
Dear Dad, your love has shone,
In everything I do.
