If I could write a story,

It would be the greatest ever told.

I'd write about my dad,

For he had a heart of gold.

 

My dad, he was no hero

Known around this world.

He was everything to me,

For I was his baby boy.

 

I'd write about the lessons.

He taught me right from wrong.

He instilled in me the values

That one day I'd be strong.

 

He taught me to face my fears,

Take each day as it comes,

For there are things that we can't change.

He would say what's done is done.

 

He would say hold your head up high,

Carry yourself with pride.

Thanks to him, I am somebody,

I will never run and hide.

 

If I could write a story,

It would be the greatest ever told.

I'd write about my dad,

For he had a heart of gold.
