MY FATHER
A cheerful heart, a happy face,
And eyes of sunny azure hue,
A noble spe'men of a race,
So loyal, manly, pure and true.
A godly man, of godly race,
A man as nature knows but few,
With open, honest, manly face.
He gives to each man all his due.
A man who's true to noblest life,
Has conquered all the meaner heart,
Still striving to the end of life,
A victor for the better part.
And eyes of sunny azure hue,
A noble spe'men of a race,
So loyal, manly, pure and true.
A godly man, of godly race,
A man as nature knows but few,
With open, honest, manly face.
He gives to each man all his due.
A man who's true to noblest life,
Has conquered all the meaner heart,
Still striving to the end of life,
A victor for the better part.
