Don't Worry Dad
(v1) It's been just a few days since
you passed away, and tears still
flood my eyes, but even though I
don't know why why you had to go, there's
still one thing I know
(Chorus) Don't worry dad, I'll take good care
of mom, the day she'll see you
again isn't very far, but until then
I'll be strong, you taught me well
and trained me hard, there's nothing
now I can't face
(v3) Your strong hands picked me up
when I stumbled, and your American
spirit taught me how to be humble
you inspired me to fight for my
country, and defend the American
way of life
(Chorus) Don't worry dad, I'll take good care
of mom, the day she'll see you
again isn't very far, but until then
I'll be strong, you taught me well
and trained me hard, there's nothing
now I can't face
(v4) America lost a hero today
I'll get to see him sometime soon
no he wasn't decorated, no
Medal of Honor, no Silver Star,
no Navy Cross, but I'm still proud
to call him dad
(Chorus) Don't worry dad, I'll take good care
of mom, the day she'll see you
again isn't very far, but until then
I'll be strong, you taught me well
and trained me hard, there's nothing
now I can't face

flood my eyes, but even though I
don't know why why you had to go, there's

I loved it helps to remeber those gone but always hold a place in our hearts.

Full of poignancy and raw emotion and love comes through very strongly in this poem.
You’re unlucky to have lost such a fine man but also very lucky to have such a man for a father.

Definitely a powerful, personal, song
of remembrance and respect.
Sad- though strong and hopeful- write, soldier.
