Daddy At Age 32

When daddy was 32 I was the last to be born
There was eight of us kids and my mom was worn,

Our lives were as normal as families could be
It was fun and crazy as all of us kids would agree,

Times were changing as we got older
We all took chances as we got a little bolder,

Daddy always knew when we did wrong
Us kids stuck together and it made us strong,

As time went by Daddy started to age
I was turning 50 and I knew it was the last page,

The day came just like any other day
What we didn't realize that daddy would go to heaven on my Birthday,

He was 32 when I came in to this world
And at age 82 heaven took him away to be with my sister Cheryl.
