Our Greatest Hero

Daddy raised me from the age of two
He was the greatest man I ever knew.
He accepted unconditional love
Now he watches over from heaven above.

He did his best to raise us right
He held us when we cried in the night.
He taught us to be strong and kind
Encouraged us to expand our mind.

There were times he had to be tough
And we knew when he'd had enough.
Daddy is an angel now up above
But I still feel his guidance and his love.

We love you daddy, rest in peace
Your love and memories will never cease.
And somehow we hope that you know
That you will always be our greatest hero.


~In loving tribute to our father
Robert Paul Beam~
~9/26/1927  - 11/5/1999~

{reposted with love to honour a very
cherished and special man in our hearts.}

You have and always will be our rock....
I miss you daddy...

There comes much
to be remembered
when we focus on
our past...your
father focused
on your future...

and raised one heck of a daughter.

It is so easy to see from your tribute that
he was very much loved by each of you.

Nicely done, Donna.
