There Poem by Dave James

There is someone who makes a difference
Who sees the world through our own eyes
Who writes the test and asks the questions
While we're learning how to fly

There is someone that holds you tighter
Than any person ever could
That always has that special something
That helps you sort the bad from good

There is someone that cant be taken
From childhood dreams you cant replace
Who filled our dreams with inspiration
At any time or given place

There is someone that we call Father
We call him Dad and Papa too
When he is with us we stand stronger
he gives us strength to follow through

There is someone who we all miss here
A Father, Husband, yes a friend
And though he's answered his own calling
I know we'll dance with him again.

So take me back to days of summer
When dad would hoist us in the air
And sit us on his mighty shoulders
The child that laughed with not a care

There is someone who will be waiting
In time a distant far off place
That knows the smile that we've been given
That knowing look upon his face

Yes there is someone who is missing,
Now surely eased from worldly pain,
But all his dreams and inspiration
Will live through us and in his name.
