Dad is such a special word A word that brings to mind A big warm smile, a helping hand A way of being kind. Devotion to the family A word of patience too "Dad" is such a special word Because it stands for "You" What we'd give if we could say Hello, Dad, in the same old way To hear your voice and see your smile To sit with you and chat a while. So if you have a father Cherish him with care For you'll never know the heartache Till you see his vacant chair.
