| The Greatest Man |
|
The greatest man I've ever known Has always been my dad. The fact I never told him so Has often made me sad. Tall and proud, and quiet (The world upon his shoulder); Daddy, have I ever told you? Or, did I wait until you got older? Did I wait to say 'I love you', When I should have said it before? Did I, somehow, waste a lifetime Wishing I had said it more? The greatest man I've ever known Has always been my dad. The fact I'm telling him, now, Makes my heart so glad. |
