 Father and Friend

Can we take alittle time out of the day to say happy fathers day
The day that we take for granted is one that we should be thinking of
Without you I would not be here, but just a possible thought in the air
You had the courage and nerve to take on the responsibility
Father you did not leave me alone, so that I would have pain and misery
Having to wonder what ever happened to my father and why he's not a friend of me

The thought that you are gone away to spend your time in God's grace
Sometimes has me looking in the sky,so no one can see the pain on my face
They say it will get easier with time,well I don't think it will in my mind
I have to say that you will always be a true inspiration for me
I just want to raise my kids,so that they will see your spirit living in me
I just want to always do what's right to my very end
I just have to tell you that you are the best father and friend

No one will no my personal pains or all of the struggles with in me
I could look at you and you could always tell what was troubling me
You would say,Well how is everything going for you these days
I would look at you sometimes with a stare of amazement in my daze
I would tell you that, this,that and the other thing is going wrong
You would always listen with concern,even if I sang the same ol song

I could tell you anything about what I had done in my life
You would tell me son you are just going through and you don't have to fight
I would want to ask you how long do I have to go through this storm
We could talk all night long about life into the early morn
You would tell me that everything is going to be alright if you just hold on
You would tell me that if you do what's right you will see how it all will end
I have to thank you Heavenly Father for sending me a father and friend

So many people have come and gone inside and out of my short period of life
I don't know about you, but maybe this is what's best for my life
I had a man who had such vision and could make the rough places become plain
Man I want to talk to someone other than God sometimes, so they can feel my pain
I feel so empty inside sometimes that it makes me want to hide
Then my fathers words comes to my mind, that no matter what, you have to stay alive
You can't give up or give in are the words that I will often hear in my ear
I guess you are never too far away and I realize that you are right here

I just want to sit down with you again and be face to face
Enjoying some of that great food that you would cook sitting at your place
Man I miss that bannana bread that was made and created from your heart
Father you are the best and that comes from down in my soul right through my heart
There will never be another like you for the world to be able to see
Well I guess I will try and do my best so that your image will be alive in me
Well I know that I can rest assure until the day that I reach my earthly end
I will continue to look to the heaven above and talk to my Father and Friend
