For My Dad...By Bernie Inglesby.
Simply Better!
You plucked me out of life's crowd,
To be your son, you make me proud!
You gave me all, through struggle and strife,
And gifted me with the greatest life!
I didn't know that you were falling,
But then I heard that you were calling!
I was there, by your side,
To hold your head with all my pride!
I'm glad we were together on your final day,
To THANK YOU for the things I can never repay.
To say the things I've always wanted to say!
I just don't know, and I'll never see…
Why honest gets caught, and scum go free!
I'd like to spell it out, in a letter…
That you were not just a friend, dad, father-in-law,
To us you were simply better!
