A Liverpool Father's Memory
The Lord gave me a very special son
With whom I spent time and had so much fun
The joy that he brought to me and my wife
Has given us memories that have so blessed our life
From the time that he was able to put a smile on his face
Seldom would you see him without it in place
He was always so happy and a joy to be around
It was nearly impossible for anyone to frown
When Mark would talk with his beautiful voice
Smiling and laughter became your only choice
As he grew older, his talents did grow
Oh how he was able to put on a show
Playing football in his bare feet
That boy was like no one you ever did meet
He was able to master everything he would try
Oh when I think of him I so want to cry
Football was my game till I taught him
Oh did Mark know how to win He even beat me to Heaven and I can just see his face
Smiling, when he says "Dad another second place"
I can see his excitement as he shows me around
And we reminisce of the days we had on this ground
I can only imagine what that day will be like
When I can hug my son and hold him so tight
My son is no longer here in this place
But i know for certain that I will again see his face
It will be in Heaven, a place of great joy
When I will be happy again with my boy
