My Dad My Hero


Since the day my mem'ries first began

I remember the one who took my hand

helping me wade through brook and creek

my Dad's my strength when I am weak.


Together we explore the wild

what a gift of love to give a child

my Dad with care taught me to aim

deer, duck turkey and fish our favorite game.


I don't think I could field the ball

or clear the bases one and all

were it not for the guidance of my Dad

my coach, my mentor, for this i'm glad.


Just sitting as the tv glows

or chasing Moe as daytime slows

or riding 4 wheelers off the road

if eyelids droop, Dad bears the load.


The treasures of this wordly place

don't form the smile upon my face

on a scale of ten, riches are zero

for you're my Dad, my one true hero.
