Dad He never looks for praises, He's never one to boast He just goes on quietly working for those he loves the most His dreams are seldom spoken; His wants were very few. And most of the time his worries; Will go unspoken too He's there…. A firm foundation; Through all the storms of life. A sturdy hand to hold to In, time of stress and strife A true friend we can turn to When times are good or bad. One of our greatest blessings, the man we call Dad. The Children, Carroll, Jr., Dominique, Terrance, and Keiyanna
