My Pa

My Pa can light my room at night

By just his being near

And make a fear for dream all right

By grinning ear to ear

My Pa can do most anything

He sets his mind to do

He'd even move a mountain

If he really wanted to

My Pa can sweeten up a day

That clouds and rain make gray

And tell me funny stories

That will chase the clouds away

My Pa's the only one on Earth

I can tell my troubles to

His arms are house and home to me

His face's a pretty poem to me

My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew

I only wish that you

Could know him too...
