Well he dosen't really say much but he knows the ways of men
He's watched while men walked on the moon then journeyed back again
He's seen men dive beneath the sea and watched while wars were won
And he can name a thousand plants that grow beneath God's sun
And he can help you build a home or just chop down a tree
He always looks around him and remembers what he sees
Each night when he's through eating he washes up his plate
And goes into the bedroom to turn on channel eight
There he'll abssorb some knowledge before his day is done
Or just watch some predator, a movie, just for fun
And when he wakes tomorrow he'll just begin again
To celebrate life quietly this good and quiet man
Just ask his wife and children I know they will agree
There should be many morfe like him from sea to shining sea
For honesty and goodness he'll always take a stand
And live to do his very best to help his fellow man
My dad had a long gray beard before he died (even though he was only 47) .......this reminded me of him. Very nice Ruby. Sincerely, Mary
