He has happiness which time cannot end,
Heart enough for the whole world, 
And faith in every tomorrow, He has guided us, helped us, and given us,
Strength to grow without placing
Limits on our lives, 
He has made us laugh and cry, 
But most of all.....
He has opened our eyes to the world
And prepared us to live in our own way.
He is our dad.
