A Place Just For Dad 
We many not shower him with praise 
Nor mention his name in song, 
And sometimes it seems that we forget 
The joy he spreads as he goes along, 
But it doesn't mean that we don't know 
The wonderful role that he has had. 
And away down deep in every heart 
There's a place that is just for Dad...
