Father - Who worked so hard and saved so long For what we have today. And anytime would sacrifice his chance to rest or play. Who always saw his children have The things he did without, And gave so much unselfishly for that is what love is all about. Who sought no honours, no reward, for all that he had done; Except to raise a family, the very finest one. Though we cannot evaluate our dad, his love, his worth to us He'll always be just dad , the greatest guy on earth. Thanks for everything Dad God Bless You NEIL BARDAL INC 949-2200
