Hey Dad

Hey Dad


Hey Dad,
It’s me again.
I’ve just came to talk for awhile,
I’ve been missing you lately.
So I thought we could spend a few minutes,
Together catching up.

Everything is going okay,
Mom’s doing well, so don’t worry.
Christian’s sure growing up,
He amazes me each day.
I’m sure he would remind you of me,
When I was a child

It’s a beautiful day here,
And I thought I’d plant a few flowers.
Your favorites, so enjoy.
It’s only a few weeks,
Until your birthday comes around again.
So I wanted everything to look nice,
Incase you have some visitors.

Well I’ve taken up enough of you time,
I know you got to get back to that heavenly choir.
Your sweet voice will be missed.
I just wanted to let you know,
I was thinking about you.
And Dad, I love you.

Jeff this one brought a tear, kowing how you feel, to bad your dad can't get to see your son Christian grow up. My dad died two months before my son Rob was born, any one I hope you had a great fathers day.

I'm sorry to hear your dad is no longer around, but this is a nice tribute to him. Happy Father's Day to you, Jeff. :))
