means forever whether here or gone away

for once you are a father, you’re a father every day

is the art of knowing how to shape a precious life

and opportunity to share in good times and in strife

is for the tenderness you think your child can’t see

but Dad, I have always seen it in your heart for me

is for your heart of gold. It’s there and melted down

it’s precious Dad; it covers from my head clear to the ground

is for eternal. Dad…that’s how long my love will be

'til all of earth has passed away, including you and me

is for your reality and the lessons you helped me learn

you thought I didn’t listen; in my heart those lessons burn

I know that God the heavenly Father helped you guide my way
I know earthly father Adam was created by Him that day

And though the days may come and go may I never fail to say
I love you precious Father~~ more each and every day
