Ron

You gave it your all, from the dawn to the dusk

A lifetime of labor, just to care for us

You loved this family with a fire so fierce

A steady rock through the passing years

Now the house is still, and the day is done

I'm sitting here thinking about you, Ron

Heaven gained an angel, though I wish you could stay

I love you, Ron, more than words can say

I picture you now where the water is clear

Casting a line with nothing to fear

Heaven gained an angel, but I'm still right here

I can still see the sun going down on the lake

Watching the ripples that your fishing line would make

We didn't need to talk, the silence was enough

Just sitting beside my husband, wrapped up in your love

You worked so hard, you gave us your best

Now it's time for your weary hands to finally rest

Heaven gained an angel, though I wish you could stay

I love you, Ron, more than words can say

I picture you now where the water is clear

Casting a line with nothing to fear

Heaven gained an angel, but I'm still right here

Every drop of sweat, every sacrifice you made

Built a foundation that will never fade

The tears might fall like rain on the shore

But I'll carry your spirit forevermore

Heaven gained an angel, though I wish you could stay

I love you, Ron, more than words can say

Cast your line out where the water is clear

I'll keep your fierce love alive for us here

Heaven gained an angel, when the day was done

I love you, Ron
