A
Father’s Legacy
In the quiet dawn, we feel
your grace,
Your guiding hand, your warm embrace.
You taught us strength, you taught us pride,
With
every step, you walked beside.
Your laughter filled our
home with cheer,
A steady voice that calmed our fear.
In every lesson, in every deed,
You planted love, you
sowed the seed.
Now as you rest in heaven’s light,
Your spirit shines, forever bright.
Though we must
part, we’re never far,
Your love remains our guiding
star.
With every breath and every tear,
We feel
you, Dad, forever near.
In memories sweet, in dreams so
grand,
Your legacy, a father’s hand.
