Today my lovely daughters
gave me a father's day gift with flowers
with hugging and kissing
they are making a cake with my wife
she bought me flowers and Champagne
she is doing schichtkraut for lunch
It's a German affair
This father's day
I remember my poor father
There were no father's day
I have no idea
how he raised us
on his meagre allowance
When we passed exams,
doing well at school, and out
That's his father's day
he left us early, at 62
My Mother was younger
than what I am now
I can't imagine, because
I think I am still young
at least at heart at 56
I can't imagine how lonely for her
how sad its for her
I can promise you,
dear father
We will look after
Love of your life
For the rest of our lives
The least we can do
For all you did for us
your four children
only treasure you left
