It doesn’t seem that long ago Father’s Days come and Father’s Days go.

I gave the money to buy the gifts. Arguing with mama, she gave me fits.

Dads don’t need a day, if they do right, work all day and home at night.

Some have faults, we all agree, I have mine for all to see.

But now the years go whirling by, it’s sad enough to make one cry.

So many things I wanted to say, at this time of year they call Father’s Day.

I did so good as my mind would let, I did some good, let’s not forget.

I raised you all, no wanting for much. Now your out, almost out of touch.

I’m writing this, while drink beer, to say some things, you’ve wanted to hear.

Each in your own way, I’m so very proud. You’re so much above the average crowd.

You have faults, we all know well. You have ways, that you try to sell.

I write this, to try and explain and in no way, am I trying to be vain.

You all did good, that’s what I wanted to, what you did has never been flaunted. 

So, as I end this now, what I want to say, I’m very proud of you, this Father’s Day.

At his request, there will be no services.
