He Gave Us a Stepfather
The room filled with his beloved family
Watching his life slowly slipping toward eternity
Looking into those tormented eyes
His girls hold each other to soften their cries
Weak and confused as his memory is lost
Holding the hand of each child before he crossed
Loving him was easy for all of us to do
His charm and his stories will linger that's true
Children will remember his personal stash brought joy
Sweets in a drawer to bribe each girl and boy
If you needed a dollar he would give you two
If you needed advice he lovingly gave it to you
Into this family he came later in life
He treasured our mom as his beloved wife
God gave us this blessing and filled hearts with love
We will ever be greatful to the father above
He was not my natural father he was better!
