THE OLD MAN
A tear slid down his face
Waiting by the phone that day
Hoping for a word
And praying they might say,
I love you Dad
Thank you for all that you have done.
No college debt for us, great vacations weren't so bad.
You gave it your all so we'd
Have things you never had.
The old man's chair is empty now
He's dancing with the Lord
On the day he died
He thought I wouldn't see,
The tear in his eye,
Will they remember me?
