Our Father's Hands
Our father's hands were strong and firm, but gentle when they needed to be.
They held us close when we were scared and wiped away our tears when we cried.
Our father's hands were wise and knowing, and they taught us right from wrong.
They showed us how to be a good person, and how to stand up for what we believe.
Our father's hands are gone now, but we still feel them in our heart. They'll
guide us through life's journey and will help us find our way. Thank you, Dad,
for all you've done, and for the love you gave.
