To My Dad

by slm - Libra

My father will always love me
   No matter what I do
He used to mend my broken toys
   And make them look like new

He held my hand when I was small
   And bounced me on his knee
He'd tuck me in the bed each night
   Then kneel and pray with me

My father is a godly man
   I had a Christian home
Going to church on Sunday
   Is the only life I've known

It's my turn now to be the dad
   And pass on what I've been shown
I pray I'll be as good as dad
   The best teacher, I have known
