Condolence from Don Kirk on October 14th, 2010 12:11 AM

A father is like the air in spring,
He refreshes your soul and makes it sing.
A smile, a wink or a shake of his head
Soft words spoken, sometimes nothing said.

A man who made your fears go away
Someone to lean on when you cried,
He knew exactly what to say
His heart so full of love and pride.

He’ll never leave you
He’ll always be there,
Remember him fondly
Like the fresh spring air.
