In memory of Edward Paul Adams. March 17, 1938-March 8, 2004. He lived a good life, touched many hearts and will forever be in our hearts.
Strength, integrity and love
These things are my father
A man who always cared
Without needing to try
His strength was laughter
It carried us through
In times of hurt
And in times of loss
His strength of body
Helped his fight for life
To be a long one
And a hard one
His integrity was fierce
And always shown
When he fought through
The rugged path of life
His love is everlasting
In the hearts of those
Who are now left behind
He will never be forgotten
