Lyrics

[Verse]
Papa Ver, oh strong and steady,
With two sons and four sweet girls,
You raised us high when life was heavy,
In this wide and wondrous world.

[Verse 2]
Gerry and Gary, always steered,
Guided by your love and might,
Rowena and Rosalie, oh they cheered,
With Mary Ann and Mary Grace in sight.

[Chorus]
Oh Papa Ver, our guiding star,
You stood so tall, yet never far,
Without a mom, you played both parts,
With a lion's strength and a tender heart.

[Verse 3]
Early mornin' fields and late-night tales,
You worked so hard, you never failed,
Your hands were rough but your love so smooth,
In every word and each small move.

[Verse 4]
Summers spent by the old oak tree,
You taught us all what love should be,
A father's care, a mother's touch,
You gave us both, you gave so much.

[Chorus]
Oh Papa Ver, our guiding star,
You stood so tall, yet never far,
Without a mom, you played both parts,
With a lion's strength and a tender heart.
