Forever by my side

The time has come to say goodbye,
but for me you will never be gone.
Side by side you guided me and we built a special bond.
No words were always needed, we knew each others thoughts.
A cross word never spoken, you always gave loving support.
Be proud of all you did for us, 
we never went without.
Your hard work and family devotion shone through, of this there is no doubt.
Sleep well now dad, you have earned your rest.
We hold you in all our hearts with love and pride.
You're a VERY special man who will lovingly be missed and will be forever by my side.
