Here's to a man of character,
Who never dreamt of a life beyond
His faithful wife and children,
No picket fence, but two dogs.
To a man who followed his Savior
And led others along with him,
Who was ever blind to temptation,
Satan this battle would not win.
Here's to the man who considered
The opinions of family and friends,
Never making a major decision
Until the jury was in.
Here's to a man who listened
And cherished his daughter and son,
Never dreaming of leaving them
In favor of newer ones.
Here's to the man who was there,
Even when things were hard to fit in.
Despite the pain it might cause him,
He was there to cheer for a win.
To the man who cherished his children,
May it be known by all,
That he, with all his endeavors,
Still never failed to call.
To the man who instilled goodness
In his children and congregation,
With ne'er a harsh word spoken,
And only the gentlest negation.
To he who captured his daughter's heart,
Captivating her every affection,
With all the wonderful things he did,
And how she held his attention.
To the man who reassured everyone
Of the power of pure, true love.
Here's to he who had the strength
To never, ever give up.
Bring on the rain. I've got an umbrella.
