A Father's Legacy
In every step, your strength we feel,
A guiding hand, a love so real.
You taught us courage, you showed us grace,
In our hearts forever, you hold a place.
Through trails and triumphs, you stood so tall,
With wisdom and kindness, you gave your all.
Your laughter still echoes, your spirit shines bright,
In the darkest of days you were our light.
Through time may pass and we must part,
Your love remains deep within our heart.
We carry your lessons, your dreams, your song,
In our lives, dear father, you will always belong.
