As a man was walking along
with his child one day,
He was very surprised
at what his boy had to say.
He looked to his father
with tears in eyes
and said, ” Please, Daddy, tell
me and tell me no lies.”
The man looked down
at his son’s pleading face
wondering what was wrong
as his heart began to race.
” Daddy, I saw you crying last night
and wanted to know
if you are alright.”
Suddenly, the man remembered
himself weeping that night
and turned to his child to say,
” Son, it’s alright.
I was only thinking back
on what we’ve come through,
and how lucky I truly am
to have boy like you.”
The young boy looked up
to his teary-eyed Dad
and said, ” And I am truly
Lucky to have you as my Dad.”
