He never looked for praises, he was never one to boast.
He just went on quietly working for those he loved the most.
His dreams were seldom spoken; his wants were very few.
And most of the time, his worries went unspoken too.

He was there - a firm foundation, through all our storms of life,
A sturdy hand to hold on to, in time of stress and strife.
A true friend I could turn to when times were good or bad.
One of my greatest blessings - the man that I called Dad.”
