An Eternal Memory Of A Special Dad

You made the world a better place
in your own special way
and you're still loved so very much
and missed more every day
Your leaving caused a lot of tears
and so much grieving too
it was the hardest thing of all
to say goodbye to you
You gave your love until one day
you heard the angels call
and above us now in heaven
lives the best Dad of them all xxx
