The Road My Father Paves

Remember seeing my father coming Home from work on his bicycle And it was a cold and rainy day And he was soaking from the drizzle And I can tell he was getting sick But he would never once complain And he would have fever to his bones And get dress and go back to work again My father was strong as a mountain But with a heart soft as a baby cries And he would live his whole life Like that until that sad day that he dies He was a man of very few words And all his words was full of wisdom My father never smoke in his life Or drink alcohol or ever taste rum My father always led by example And he was a respected man And though none of us could be like him But we will always try the best we can My father had the biggest heart Caring for everyone so sincerely He never close his eyes to those in need He would give his last unselfishly So many good things he has done For all the times he was here And we all know deep down inside Now much he really truly care I wish I had told him more How much I admired him so And for the rest of my life he will Always be the one I look to as my hero Father even though we might not have say it We appreciated all that you do And we have been so truly bless To have had a father like you Today on February 6 th Makes it nine years he past away And the pain of missing him Feels like it was just yesterday We know you are looking at us From heaven above the sky so blue And every day of our life’s Our foot steps will always follow you Though you have past and gone Your legacy is for ever engrave For the future generations to walk On the righteous road that you pave
