My Hero, My Dad
Verse 1
You never asked for praise or a spotlight
You just showed up, day after day
Hands worn from work, heart steady and true
You gave us everything in quiet ways
You built a life with honesty and care
Put family first, never turned away
A husband, a father, strong and kind
A humble man who led by what he’d say
Chorus
You’re my hero, always have been
Not in stories, but in how you lived
With integrity, laughter, and love so deep
You taught us what it means to give
And even now, as the night draws near
Your light in my life won’t disappear
Verse 2
You worked your whole life for Mom—Elenor
For Tim and Scott, you stood so tall
You showed us work ethic, showed us truth
How to stand our ground, how not to fall
Your humor filled the hardest days
A well-timed joke, a knowing smile
You taught us strength doesn’t shout out loud
Sometimes it laughs and stays a while
Chorus
You’re my hero, in every way
In what you did and what you’d say
You taught us to be men of honor and grace
To earn our keep, to know our place
And even now, I still can see
The man I hope I’ll always be
Bridge
You were a grandfather like no other
To Shawn and Cheyenne, you shined so bright
Your love was fierce, your pride so clear
A steady hand, a guiding light
If I could be half the man you are
I’d conquer mountains, I’d go far
Your strength amazed me all my life
A quiet power, steady as time
Verse 3
Soon you’ll rest beside the love of your life
Back with Mom, where you belong
I picture laughter, arms around you both
Two souls reunited, strong and strong
But here below, we’ll carry you
In every choice, in all we do
In the father I try to be each day
For Shawn and Cheyenne, I’ll lead the way
Final Chorus
You’re my hero, forevermore
Through open doors and heaven’s shore
I hope you’re proud of the man I’ve become
Of Tim and Scott, of what we’ve done
Your legacy lives in every breath
In love that outlasts even death
Outro
Rest easy now, Dad, you’ve done your part
Your name is written on my heart
Until the day we meet again
My hero… my father… my friend
