A Prayer For My Dad I cant believe I’m standing here, Saying my goodbyes To a Dad that meant the world to me, My Dad with big hazel-brown eyes Anyone who loved him Will know how I feel today, My Dad was the sunshine of my life Who could light up the darkest days. So goodbye Dad my only Dad, Take your wings and fly To eternal happiness and your reward, through the big gates in the sky. ~ Stephen Joseph Galluzzi, New Haven
