Man with meaning in my life

To the best man I've ever known,
To all the love you have always shown
To the angels in heaven,who will help you fly,
I'm trying to write this without a tear in my eye,
You are a gift to our family for so many many years
You were always there for me through  heartache sorrow and tears,
To a dear father,husband and friend,
Who was there for me from beginning and will till the end
May god walk with you hand in hand,so you can leave your footprints in the sand
