The Houck Girls ~ 2009 ~ Cathy, Jane, Mary, and Ruth

A Love Without End

In Memory of Dad

09-24-22 - 09-26-09

 

A childhood filled with magical days

Sisters more like best friends

Secrets told in bedrooms shared

A father's love without end

 

King on the hill on the cellar doors

Hide and seek by the buttonwood tree

Clinging to the rope on a tire swing

Like an eagle we would soar

 

Sitting beside the rock of my life

The man with the work worn hands

Sharing a hymnal and learning to sing

The wonderful songs of Beulah Land

 

Breaking the rules and breaking a heart

The heart of the man who adored

His wife and daughters and only son

And most of all his Lord

 

Always a home to return to

No matter the mistakes we made

Unconditional love in every way

A love that will never fade

 

The home no longer stands

The man has crossed to the other side

But the memories live forever in minds

And his unconditional love will never die

 

It’s a lonely world without our dad

But we smile through the tears in our eyes

Someday we'll join with the dad we adore

In our Heavenly home in the skies
