In Loving Memory Of My Dad,
Gerald Stephen Cowman

Born: February 13, 1939
Died: October 31, 1997

Dad, I miss you deeply, I'm always thinking of you, how you use to tell jokes, and make us all laugh, you were always there to fix things and help us whenever we needed you. All you wanted for us kids was to get married and have some grand kids for you and mom, now you have Marrissa up in heaven with you, I know you are caring for her just the way you cared for us, with lots of love, so many hugs and kisses, It comforts me to know that. I miss you so much, I can't even put it into words how much.
Loving you always,
Stacy

~Daddy's Hands~

I remember Daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember Daddy's hands how they held my Mama tight
And patted my back for something done right
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
But I'll always remember the love in Daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

I remember Daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
And never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.
