The 5th … of July 1906, this was the year - of my father’s birth
Another child to add to God’s list - here - on the planet earth
However, this child was special to the Lord up in heaven
For he would father children the total amounting to eleven
Lacking an education to meet society’s standard of living
He toiled at hard labor; this was his way of giving
A quiet man not much to say, as he carried on throughout the
Course of a day
He had his opinions on the topics of politics, but to yak away all day
Was just not his way
Love was more than a just word to him; - it was his way of living,
For everything he done, he done with love
No one knew that better than the people who mingled with him. For this man I
Speak of - everyone thought the world of
I would always remember him, - on his knees late at night
Praying to the Lord - asking him - to always keep his children within his sight
A century has passed since he made his entry into the world
He served his time, and served it well - now with the Lord - heaven unfurls

My mother has joined him - together with the Lord, - they have found true
Freedom
Someday all of us children - will be reunited with them. - The Lord will recognize
Us, - in his promised - kingdom
