He was a young man strong and proud

   And stubborn like she was

But even if they disagreed

   There was always love

He is her first love

   Her sea and air

If she be drowning or flying high  

   She knows he will be there

He is the beat

   That is her heart

Gently always heard

   Knowing she is loved without a single word

He is the voice that gently guides

   All the things she does

And as she becomes more like him

   Her children know they’re loved

He is the wisdom of the ages

   The hero from all her story book pages

He is gentle, kind, and true

   And a best friend never lost to you

Knowing you all my life

   You teaching me wrong from right

Second best to no other

   I count it as my blessing that you are my father

Thank you Dad

   And know that you are Loved

At each break of day

   Past every setting sun
