Behind the smiles there are many tears for the one we lost and loved so dear. Others are taken, yes we know, but he was ours and we loved him so. The tears we shed we can wipe away, but the ache in our hearts will stay. If teardrops would build a stairway and memories were a lane, we'd walk all the way to heaven and bring him back again. We love and miss you dad.
