My
Hero
As I ponder the love that
I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without
compromise....
I recall many times that he stood by my
side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.
His
voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking
with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of
his hands was so sure,
I knew there was nothing we couldn't
endure.
It's true, a few others provided insight,
Yet,
he laid the foundation that kept me upright.
He's the
grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although he's
not royal by stature or birth.
He's a man of great dignity,
honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable
length.
He's far greater than all other men that I
know,
He's my Dad, he's my mentor, my friend and
hero.
