Verse 53

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.
