A Father and Husband Remembered
Our father has passed from this life
He cared about his children and his wife
He was sometimes, not so understanding
He was a person that was demanding
Guiding his family with a firm hand
The lessons learned, made me a better man
In our lives, our father was the example
My siblings and I, thankful for the sample
Our father was a man with beliefs
In this time of mourning, don't have grief
Beloved by manyfor seventy-eight years
Though he'll be missed, don't shed tears
Dedicated to Floyd Lee Neal Sr.
February 17, 1919 - April 13, 1997
