Our Dad kept a garden A garden of the heart He planted all the good things That gave our lives a start He turned us to the sunshine And encouraged us to dream Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self esteem And when the winds and rain came You protected us enough But not too much because you knew We'd grow up strong and tough Your constant good example Always taught us right from wrong Markers on our pathway That will last a life time long We are our Daddy's garden We are his legacy Thank you Dad We love you xxxx
