dedicated to all the fathers out there:

[wildhorses]

There's a man at my house he's so big and strong
He goes to work each day, stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown always a smile
When he says to me how's my child
I've been studying hard all day in school
Tryin' to understand the golden rule

Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father
I think I'll color the man love, yes I will

He says education is the thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son, life ain't very sweet
I love this man I don't know why
Except I'll need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't been for him she wouldn't have found her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldn't of got very far
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin

Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father

6. My dear wildhorses.....

How beautiful is this tribute!

Thank you, sweetie, for posting it....

The lines:

"She said she thought she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with the big wide grin"

Those mean so much to me, even though I've never been in that situation...

Still, they speak to me of true love, the kind you don't find every day...

Just beautiful!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:
