My Pa can light my room at night
With just his being near
And make a fear for dream all right
By grinning ear to ear.
My Pa can do most anything
He sets his mind to do.
He'd even move a mountain
If he really wanted to.
My Pa can sweeten up her day
That clouds and rain make gray
And tell me funny stories
That will chase the clouds away.
My Pa's the only one on earth
I can tell my troubles to.
His arms are house and home to me.
His face's a pretty poem to me.
My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew.
I only wish that you could know him too.
