For Dad

We’ve all tried our hand at jigsaw puzzles
There’s this one piece which fits, and then cease all our struggles
I can recall the first few times we met here at CFC
And how on our very first meeting you opened up your heart to me
It was then, right at the beginning that I saw a glimpse of Jesus in you
And I found you to be humble, gentle and true

When misunderstood, you helped me sit and sort things out
With patience and love, with God’s word, you cleared my doubts
Hardly did I know, never this thought did I have
That perhaps one day I would call you ‘Dad’


These years of knowing you, I have felt nothing less than a son
We’ve had our share of seriousness; we’ve had so much fun
Your gentle caring ways never cease to amaze me
As in patience, wisdom and love you have supported me and my family


Dad if you were not the way you are
From this place and this moment I stand in, I may’ve been afar
Observing your life closely has taught me more than any sermon could
What it means to be a Christian man, much of which I have learned and understood


You mean much to me Dad, I don’t know if I have been able to express
No matter what I say, words will always seem less
You’re my example, my spiritual guide and friend
Anchored in Jesus I know our fellowship will never end
And I want to tell you now, if I never ever have
That I love you much Dear Dad.
