Daddy Bear standing tall and pround

His younger cub sees above the crowd

Hoisted upon his shoulder

This memory as they grow older

It never fades away

Smiles, balloons, and rainbows everyday


A kitten holds up a memory

Of watching a Big Bird on TV

And taking an evening catnap

The baby lies on his father's lap

The sun/son rises

Can't recognize us now


Anyone can be a father

But once it's over, why should they bother?

A young son ventures near the ocean

But what protects him?

His dad's devotion


A man stands beside his Father's bed

He kisses his Father on His head

"Forget what I asserted then,"

"I'll fix it and make it whole again"

"You'll see I'm the one you can always count on no matter when..."


Anyone can be a father

But once it's over, why should they bother?

The world is changing, the tides have turned

He gave his life for a lesson learned...
