What My Father Didn’t Say

What my father didn’t say,
Might have brought me to dismay.
What my father didn’t say,
Brought joy to me every day.
What my daddy didn’t say,
Taught me what to pray.
What my daddy didn’t say,
Enriched the life he gave.
What my papa didn’t say,
Mended the rope I frayed.
What my papa didn’t say,
Brought me home from D-Day.
I’ll always remember what my father didn’t say.
