We lost a father with a heart of gold,
How much we miss him can never be told
He shared our troubles and helped us along
if we follow his footsteps we will never go wrong.
We miss you from your fireside chair
Your loving smile and gentle air
Your vacant place no one can fill
We miss you father and always will.
He was a father so very rare
Content in his home and always there
On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests
God bless you father you were one of the best.
Each time we look at your picture
you seem to smile and say
Don’t be sad but courage take
And love each other for my sake.
O Sweet Jesus, for the sake of Thy Bitter
Passion and the sorrows of Thy Immaculate
Mother have mercy on his soul and let the
light of Thy countenance shine upon him.
