A Gentle Soul With a Strong Hand

There once was a man, strong and tall

With a heart that would never fall

He walked with a purpose, head held high

And always looked straight into the sky

He worked hard every single day

To provide for his family in every way

His hands were rough, his back was sore

But he never complained, not once, no more

He had a smile that could light up the room

And a voice that could chase away the gloom

He was a friend to all who knew him well

And his kindness would always tell

He loved his wife with all his heart

And never let anything keep them apart

His children looked up to him with pride

And he always stood by their side

There was something special about this man

A gentle soul with a strong hand

He may not have been famous or rich

But his legacy will never diminish

For he lived a life of love and grace

And left his mark on every face

He may be gone, but his memory lives on

And the world is a better place because he shone.
