Bless Thy Father

God bless my father for every day he deserves to be blessed I can honestly say he took my hand to show me the way while clearing a path for me he'd say.. "Follow this path I clear today, for I'll never leave you or lead you a stray" The strength and security I feel with my father, could never be replaced or received by no other And it's this special bond between my father and me, that will test his strength when he sets me free There's nothing in this world more sacred than he, and the morals and values he's passed down our tree We'll walk down the isle together one day, he'll give up my hand then kneel down to pray, "oh Lord..oh Lord..please show me A way, for she was my baby just yesterday".
