You Understood

[tonyg]

I looked up to you
A child in a pew
A giant of a man

Day by day I grew
Life was very new
The journey began

You gave me life
You gave me love
You understood
You stood by me

Words of wisdom
Humility - dignity
Simplicity - honesty

I grew to be taller
I was much smaller
Measured up to you

You gave me light
You taught me right
You understood
You were good

I looked up to you
A child in a pew
And I always will

I look up to you still
Giant shoes to fill
You were so good
You understood

I love you “Dad”

Yes that is beautiful!

How about we all share beautiful poems / songs that really speak to us?

I can’t think of the name of the song (but I think it’s a Randy Travis song), otherwise I would google the lyrics, but it’s a real tearjerker -

There’s a girl in a really bad home, she’s always hiding from her mom & dad. One night her dad killed her mom and shot himself, so the social workers put her with another family. This family is really awesome and loving, and they send her to Sunday school for the first time. She points to the crucifix and says, “I know that guy! I don’t know who he his, but I know he got down off the cross at some point, because he was there holding me the night my parents died.”
