My dad was the man I looked up to and who I always wanted to be
he was more than just a father he was the greatest friend to me
Whenever he sat me on his shoulders I felt it was for the whole world to stop and see
That he was the proudest father, any man on this planet could be
Anywhere my dad would go i wanted to be by his side
Walking in his footprints growing stride by stride
I wanted to be just as brave as him and have no fear inside
Always put my family first and wipe away tears they've cried
My dad got me where I am today and turned me into a man
He taught me how to be father and give my kids the best I can
He taught me to love and protect my family
Passed down his roll into my hands
I promised to do the best I can in his shoes I'll proudly stand
I've never seen a man with so much courage, strength and fight
Battling for months through the pain every Day and every night
Still holding a smile on his face keeping spirits alive and so bright
As we held him up close holding him tight
My dad peacefully fell asleep in all of our arms
Our tears flowed like a river while he laid there so calm
Oblivious to the world no more suffering or harm
Heavens gained another angel full of cheekiness and charm!
