He Gave Us a Stepfather

The room filled with his beloved family Watching his life slowly slipping toward eternity Looking into those tormented eyes His girls hold each other to soften their cries Weak and confused as his memory is lost Holding the hand of each child before he crossed Loving him was easy for all of us to do His charm and his stories will linger that's true Children will remember his personal stash brought joy Sweets in a drawer to bribe each girl and boy If you needed a dollar he would give you two If you needed advice he lovingly gave it to you Into this family he came later in life He treasured our mom as his beloved wife God gave us this blessing and filled hearts with love We will ever be greatful to the father above He was not my natural father he was better!
