FATHER'S LOVE

He touched your hand so carefully When you were just small and new, And tears filled his adoring eyes The very first time that he held you. Son, I know you may not remember, For it was such a long, long time ago; But your Father loved you then, as now, Though feelings are sometimes hard to show. Just remember his thoughtful actions And all the times when he stood strong; Everything he has tried to teach you... Good from evil, and right from wrong. Don't you know you are his pride and joy? You have made his lonely life complete. And he will always love you dearly, For a Father's love is strong and deep. Copyright Chula Fleming May 22 1991
