My Dad is a Survivor.
My Dad is a survivor too...
Which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
That helps you cross a stormy sea.
But I walk with my Dad each day
To lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others.
He cries when no-one's around.
I watch him sit up late at night,
With my pictures in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
And wishes he could understand.
My Dad is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all.
But there's times when he needs to cry....
Please be there when he falls.
Hold his hand or pat his shoulder....
And tell him it's okay
Be his strength when he's sad.
Help him mourn in his own way.
Now, as I watch over my precious Dad
From Heaven up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor
And I can still feel his love.
