First father’s day since you died
First father’s day I forgot to cry

Play with Mom up in heaven
Happy children we have raised
Know you well through your wisdom
That God is all we should praise

First father’s day I became a dad
I lost you to a stroke of sad

Sing, don’t worry about this place
I see you in my children’s face
Jerry would have never bothered
Jim you are my only Father

Things will happen
But they’re never bad
When they unite
Child with Dad

As you're returned
to Almighty Father
I am here
and ever stronger.

You were a step…
A step
In the right direction
I am a step
And by election

Love you Dad *kiss
