A Father's Worries

My dear father I love you so.
From when I was young I hope you know.
I loved to spend my time with you.
I wanted to be there in what ever you'ld do.
I would often wonder how you'ld do it.
Work hard all day and make it through it.
With us six kids to provide for.
We couldn't ask you'ld do much more.
My dearest dad you did your best.
Now you deserve a well earned rest.
We rode all night in the tractor.
The memories of that still give me laughter.
To me that was our special time.
For in those moments you were all mine.
Your love I didn't have to share.
It was just us two and no one else there.
Those special times have helped me through.
Good times and bad or in whatever I do.
So my dear father don't be sad.
The hard times I'm having aren't so bad.
Step by step the Lord's been here.
And helps me through all my fear.
For me you've already done so much.
By giving me you're fathers touch.
I see how much this hurts you so.
There's just one thing you need to know.
I got my strength from mom and you.
So with this love I'll make it through.
I'm stronger than you'll ever know.
God's with me he'll run the show.
I thank you for the things  you've done.
So please relax and have some fun.
It's hard to see you struggle so much.
So please remember I have God's touch.
He's here with me from day to day.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
So take some time and have some fun.
And just remember what's done is done.
These are the cards that I've been dealt.
But with your love the pain does mellt.
And life goes on for all of us.
When we put our love in the God we trust.
