HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD
Well, Dad, I hope you know
I'm missing you today
But that would not be a surprise
It's quite often that I say:
"Daddy, what should I do?
I wish you were still here
To listen and to guide me"
And then I shed a tear.
How often have I said aloud
"Now, Daddy, I can't fix
Lots of things in my life
That make me sad or sick;
"When I was your little girl
And you'd walk in the snow
I'd place my little foot on top
Of yours; Why, I did not know.
I'd have followed you to the moon
And walked the whole way back
If you had ever asked me
I'd take all my things & pack;
I'd never leave you alone
I'd stay with you in space
If God would grant my wish
Just so I could see your face.
Perhaps I wanted to be like you
Kind and smart and tall
A man who's word was enough
Who seemed to have it all;
Today's the day you were born
And though it makes me sad
I feel so proud to say aloud
"Happy Birthday, Dad."
