I met him several years ago
The first face I ever knew
A bond was formed right there and then
Our love was new and true

He thought me how to ride my bike
He thought me how to play
But best of all he thought me how
To love him every day

His face is warm and gentle
His eyes are sad and blue
His heart is full of kindness
The kindest man I ever knew

He has his little sayings
That will make you laugh and smile
He picks you up when you are down
And makes troubles fade a while

He helped me when I needed him
When the whole world turned away
He gave me strength to face the world
And fight another day

I love him now as ever
I love him deep and true
He makes me feel so special
He makes every day feel new

He’s leaving soon it’s hard to face
Gets harder every day
I need him now it hurts so much
I beg God to let him stay

He’s strong and brave
He’s wise and calm
No better man could fall
He shows us how to keep our faith
An inspiration to us all

If you meet him you will love him
If you know him you are blessed
If he loves you, you are honored
Cause you’re loved by the very best
