JUNE 16th, 2012


My father was kind
My father was loving
But more than that
He was a kid himself
He knew how to have fun

He loved his sports
We talked about it much
I’ll always have the memories
Of Forbes Field and the Pittsburgh Pirates
The street car and the White Tower
My father always had time for me

My father was kind
My father was loving
But more than that
He was a kid himself
He knew how to have fun

My father loved bowling on Friday night
My father liked a beer
My father
Loved his family and friends
Among others
We’ll never forget Walter and Ray

My father was kind
My father was loving
But more than that
He was a kid himself
He knew how to have fun

And when the end came
The last two years
He bore it
With the patience of a Saint

He was kind
He was loving
He had the faith of a child

He had the faith of a child

            And your LOVE
