Not So Perfect Dad

NOT SO PERFECT DAD You’re not so perfect, Dad, we know But who can find one, who can show? Oh, Dad we love you even so For you have loved us as we grow We took for granted what you say We took for granted that you pray Misunderstood the complex way You help no matter who are they The sound of motorcycle roars The groovy outfits that you wore Girls hug and kiss you, give you score The children love you even more We’ll miss your laughter, smile and tear We’ll miss the way you bring us cheer We’ll miss your songs we seldom hear We’ll miss the notes you post we fear Sometimes respect we sure denied When we grew wiser, hurt your pride Now Jesus Christ in you abide Our teardrops flow now that you died
