Memorial Service March 12, 1997

DAD In the wind on my face I'll feel you testing me as I ride up the hill And as I crest the top, from behind I'll feel you pushing me still I'll hear you in the crackling of the campfire as we all sit around And I'll see you winking in the coals as the fire burns down You'll be the energy I need when I'm challenged and somehow, I decide not to stop And I'll know you're there when I find wonder in things like the precious way the snowAakes drop I'll see you in the reflection of the river when I'm skipping rocks And I'll know it's you who is with me when I'm so happy just taking walks You will be in the choices I make when I do what's right You'll be in the warmth of the sun when I'm cold and in the stars that twinkle at night You'll be there In so many things I feel, hear, touch, and see I will always love you and I know you will always be with me
