He never looks for praises/ He's never one to boast/ He just goes on quietly working/ For those he loves the most/ His dreams are seldom spoken/ His wants are very few/ And most of the time his worries/ Will go unspoken, too/ He's there"� a firm foundation/ Through all our storms of life/ A sturdy hand to hold to/ In times of stress and strife/ A true friend we can turn to/ When times are good or bad/ One of our greatest blessings/ The man that we call DAD
