Father© 1999 Linda FalconeOnce upon a time In a land not very far away In a time not very long ago Lived and died a great man One of many A soldier Noble and brave Who fought for his country Who fought for his son The father of a boy who shared his blood The father of the many whose blood he bore These words are a tribute to him In my father's name Whose blood I share As well as the blood of that brave soldier Whom we can never know My father and I But in the glory of his legacy That breathes forever through our veins My father's and mine A day will not pass Where his love will be forgotten His love for his country His country's children and grandchildren But most of all for his son
Happy Father's Day to my father And his father before him. |
