i don't know if i ever told you
i don't know if you ever knew
that my nephew was born on the afternoon
of the morning your daddy died
my nephew has the soul of an angel
and from what you told me
your daddy had the heart of a child
there isn't a day that goes by
that you don't cross my mind
and no matter the distance
no matter what happens
your influence in my world is forever
thank you for being there in your own sweet ways
when so many others are gone.
