Can
simple phrases, words and such,
Express
the heart and soul?
When
I tell you, "I love you dad,"
Is
the meaning clear and whole?
We
say we love so many things,
The
phrase is used so much.
I
wonder if my, "I love you's"
Have
made their special touch.
So
often I have taken time,
To
recount years gone by,
Reliving
special memories,
Of
you dad.... you and I.
I
know I've said a thousand times,
How
much I love you so.
And
through the years, my love for you,
Has
grown more than you know.
I've
learned through your example, that,
Love’s
more than just a phrase,
As
you have shown loves meaning,
In
your kind and generous ways.
I
only wish I could express,
My
real love for you,
But
all the words my mind contrives,
Fall
short and will not do.
If
I tell you a thousand more times,
Before
this life is through,
Please
know it's more than just a phrase,
I
love you dad, I do.
