Dad You may have thought we didn't see, Or that we hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to us, But we got every word. You thought we listened just in parts But Dad, we picked up everything, It's written in our hearts. Without you, Dad, we wouldn't be quite who we are today; You built a strong foundation that none can take away. The fun and laughter will remain Forever with us now As we look back on all the years And visit once again The memories we hold inside Of holidays in Scotland Of fishing in the rain Of gardens and of driving miles To turn round and go home again Of mountains and of caravans Of cars and boats and planes Of models and of engines Of kites and birds and trains All this we have forever now And much much more besides Because you were our father Our teacher and our guide And when we now recall Your face, Your life, your voice It will be with a smile I hope And in that we both rejoice With all our love Dad Sharon and Gary
