unites our souls can never be severed;

DAD
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 steady 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”
