Through My Memories
Through my memories you will live forever
I will tell of your love, in very special way
The way you were patient and the many loving things that you did
Like putting aside your plans
And rearranging your life,
To make sure that your family was taken care of
I will tell how you loved God
And taught me to love him
I will call out your name
And say you were the best.
And if anyone ask me who is it that I am talking about
I'll say he was my dad,
Who now lives through my memories.
Goodbye
Now you live up yonder high
And you're looking through the sky at the beauty of the Earth
Can you see me walking by?
When I look up in the sky,
And I look way up high
Guess what beauty I see,
Your beautiful face looking down at me.
So as your heavenly father calls you home,
To share the garden in the sky
I tell you my father I will not cry
So sleep well and goodbye.
I'll Color him Father
There's a man that's black and tall
There's a man that works so hard.
This man is kind and gentle,
With the roughest hands,
And the softest touch.
This man loves his God, his family and his country.
I think I'll color him father.
I think I'll color him love.
I think I'll color him handsome, just like God above.
This man is daddy,
This man is dad.
This man is the beautiful color of love.
So if you ever see this man,
Remember that I color him father
And that I color him love
Who is this man?
This man is a son
This man is a brother
This man is nephew
This man is a grandson
This man is an uncle and a cousin as well
This man is a husband and sometimes someone's best friend
But most of all,
This man is the wonderful, kind, good looking,
Intelligent, God- fearing, loving, caring,
Genuine man who I call my father.
So when you meet this man who has all of these ecstatic qualities
Ask him if he is my dad.
The Secret of Being a Father
The secret of being a father is to remember that not every man is a father
So you must be grateful to God for this gift.
Another part of the secret is,
To learn to love someone much more than you love yourself,
And putting your heart into everything you do for your child.
Here is a part you must not forget;
Putting aside your plans and your dreams
To make sure your child's needs are met.
Going beyond the call of duty,
At any time, this one part you should keep on your mind
Please never measure anything you do for your child;
It comes with the job.
And also that you are always on the job.
This is the part I know you will love best:
That fun time is over and realizing it's true.
So fathers remember this secret is just for you.
Teach Me God's Will
Teach me daddy how to pray.
Teach me daddy to obey.
Teach me of the God above
And why he is the God of love.
Teach me of his special ways
And how to serve him day to day.
Teach me why he is always there
And how he is with me everywhere.
Teach me daddy to be true in every single thing I do
Teach me how to forgive
No matter what others do.
And teach me why when I am in his house,
I should be still.
Please remember my father,
To teach me God's will.
