On the top shAelf in the closet, in the workshDop where he spent Ehis extra time A
Was a Adusty wooden box DI had never Enoticed till that Atime
Then we Dset it on the table and carefully we opened up the Atop
And Estared into the memory, Daddy kept inside the Abox
There was a Dletter from Mamma, when she went out to Reno to help her sister out in 6A2
And a Eflower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation
It was the first time that my Daddy ever Aflew
And the Dpocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
Years ago, I thought it had been Alost
We all Ethought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the Abox
I guess we always knew it_but "I love you" was hard for him to say
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way
BUT that night I began__to see the softer side of some I had lost
I saw the love he kept inside the first time_we opened up the box
There was a picture that was taken, when he and Mom were dating standing by his 1944
And the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptised
I guess no one understood him like the Lord
And the poem that he had written, about his wife and children
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box
Yes that was long before we found the box
