He lived a rather simple life, in fact he was quite a man. He liked to know the bills were paid when new months rolled around. He strived to set his children straight, so they would trod on safe ground. He didn't want a lot of gifts to express sentiments. He would have rather had a firm handclasp, To show him what he meant. A tender touch upon his shoulder, or pat upon his hand, Is all it took to please our Dad, the best Dad in the land. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
