Fathers Day: In memory of my Daddy, Ruel C. Moss

By Sharon Moss Burton

On Father's day we take the time to turn our thoughts to dad.
Thank him for the home he gave for all the things we had.
We think about the fleeting years too quickly, gone for good.
It seems like only yesterday I'd go back if I could.



A time when dad was always there no matter what the weather.
Always strong when things went wrong. He held our lives together.
He strived so hard from day to day and never once complained.
With steady hands. He worked the land and kept the family name.

He taught us that hard work pays off and you reap just what you sow.
He said that if you tend your crops your field will overflow.
My harvest has been bountiful. He taught me how to give in his firm and steadfast way
He taught me how to live.

Daddy dwells among the angels now. He left us much to soon.
He glides across a golden field above the harvest moon.
I see him in the fields of grain he rides upon the wind
When my path is beaten down He picks me up again.

Happy Father's Day in Heaven, Daddy.

I miss you so much.

Love,
Your Daughter,
Sharon Moss Burton
