He loved my mother dearly.
Mom often told me so
As she filled me in on things about
The dad I didn’t know.
He never knew a stranger, and
Kind deeds he’d always show;
His smile revealed the caring of
The dad I didn’t know.
His death came unexpectedly
The day his heart let go;
We children all felt

We cannot all be heroes,
And thrill a hemisphere
With some great daring venture,
Some deed that mocks at fear;
But we can fill a life time
With kindly acts and true;
There’s always noble service
For noble hearts to do.
We cannot all be preachers,
And sway with voice and pen,
As strong winds sway
