For the Love of Us All

JUNE 16^th, 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
