You can only have one father,
patient, kind and true;
no other friend in all the world,
will be the same to you.
When others forsake you,
to father you will return,
for all his loving kindness,
he asks nothing in return.
As I look upon his picture,
sweet memories I recall,
of a face so full of sunshine,
and a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
to my dear father up above;
tell him how I miss him,
and give him all my love.
