Another fathers day goes by
and your place remains untouched

the horseshoe game continues without you
the BBQ ing is now done by your son
wouldn't think of askin' anyone else

the ice chest remains filled
with your favorite brew
i sneak one out back
shhh
for old times sake
and share it with you

i thought the difficult part
was over long time ago

but the more i live
life without you
it becomes much more intense
without your presence

and the love i thought had died
i continue to hold deep inside
i am reminded of this
each and everyday

with the seeds that grew from our love
our Daughter & Son
the most precious gift
a man could ever give
the woman in his life
from the moment
i became your wife

the gift that lives on
in three beatin' hearts

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY POP'S
(whisperin' i love you)
