Quiet Man(In Memory Of William Sherman Garland)
Quiet spoken, in soft words,Things, this man often heard,Knew so much of God's given plan,Born of nature's wonderland,Little we knew,His time was due.Because his learning wasn't from a book,We didn't listen, take time to look,Really, we were to blind to see or understand,The hidden strength in this quiet man,It was our loss,Great the cost.Know not what you have, until it's gone,His empty place in heart and home,Gone, his gentle wisdom, we could have had,Of this quiet man, I called my dad,Nothing now, we can do,Except say, 'Dad, we love you.'
