~~ The Greatest Man~~
The greatest man I've ever known
Has always been my dad.
The fact I never told him so
Has often made me sad.
Tall and proud, and quiet
The world upon his shoulder;
Daddy, have I ever told you?
Or, did I wait until you got older?
Did I wait to say 'I love you',
When I should have said it before?
Did I, somehow, waste a lifetime
Wishing I had said it more?
The greatest man I've ever known
Has always been my dad.
The fact I'm telling him, now,
Makes my heart so glad.

Happy Father's Day!
June, 2005
I couldn't pass this Father's Day
without paying a tribute
to my precious DAD.
Gone But Never Forgotten
