Edwin

I trace the lines of all the years we've known

The quiet strength that you have always shown

Before I even understood the word

Your loyal love was all I ever heard

You set the standard, steady and true

The first man who truly loved me was you

Dad, I thank God every day for you

For the loving father, so wise and true

A father, grandpa, and great-grandpa too

We are all a living legacy of you

I pray blessings over you and Mom, my whole life through

Edwin, I love you

You always have a gentle word to say

A quiet wisdom pointing out the way

Through every season, you remain the same

A loyal shelter when the weather came

I look at you and see a heart of gold

The most beautiful story still being told

Dad, I thank God every day for you

For the loving father, so wise and true

A father, grandpa, and great-grandpa too

We are all a living legacy of you

I pray blessings over you and Mom, my whole life through

Edwin, I love you

May heaven watch over you and Mom today

And keep you safe in every single way

You gave me roots, you showed me how to stand

I'm forever grateful just to hold your hand

Dad, I thank God every day for you

For the loving father, so wise and true

A father, grandpa, and great-grandpa too

We are all a living legacy of you

I pray blessings over you and Mom, my whole life through

Edwin, I love you
