You Understood

I looked up to you
A child in a pew
A giant of a man

Day by day I grew
Life was very new
The journey began

You gave me life
You gave me love
You understood
You stood by me

Words of wisdom
Humility - dignity
Simplicity - honesty

I grew to be taller 
I was much smaller
Measured up to you

You gave me light
You taught me right
You understood
You were good

I looked up to you
A child in a pew
And I always will

I look up to you still
Giant shoes to fill
You were so good
You understood

I love you "Dad"
