A man must labor all his life <br />But what makes him a success <br />Is how he lived while he was here <br />That seperates him from the rest <br /> <br />My father lived humble all his life <br />But what really made him great <br />Was how he loved while he was here <br />And the difference his love did make <br /> <br />He never missed mass, devoted and true <br />And if we were at home, we better go too <br />Together we prayed, and I'll never forget <br />His undying faith, and the values he set <br /> <br />Time passes on, as time only can <br />I really miss him and often feel sad <br />But feel privileged to have known so great a man <br />And more humbled to know he was my dad<br /><br />Kathleen West<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/missing-dad/
