Unit 8. Celebrations

Everyday my papa would work
to help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa
would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all the prayers were said
Growing up with him was easy
Time just flew on by
The years began to fly
He aged and so did I
I could tell
That mama wasn`t well
Papa knew and deep down
so did she so did she
When she died
My papa broke down and cried
All he said was, "God, why not take me?"


Every night he sat there sleeping
In his rocking chair
He never went upstairs
All because she wasn`t there
Then one day my papa said,
"Son, I`m proud the way you`ve grown.
Make it on your own. Oh, I`ll be O.K. alone."
Every time I kiss my children
Papa`s words ring true
"Your children live through you.
They`ll grow and leave you, too"
I remember every word
My papa used to say
I live them everyday
He taught me well that way
Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
When my prayers were said
Every night my papa would take
And tuck me in my bed .....

Daddy, I am wrting this to tell you how much you are missed and loved.I will always remember that day – my wedding day. You were standing there with tears in your eyes while I was walking towards my groom. You gave me a hug, and the feeling that you never wanted to let me go. But at last I had
to leave you and start my new life. ... A moment in time that lasted forever. I now have children. Dad, but I will always be your little girl! Happy father’s day.

He is a considerate and generous man who is loved not only by his family but also by all his friends. His priority is always his family. His sense of humor distinguishes him from others.
