In loving memory of my beloved dad, Howard Houston on his birthday,

November 22nd.

If you were here today

Oh, the Love you'd feel

Mom would bake your favorite cake

And cook your favorite meal

If somehow you could be here

I'd know just what to say

Starting with a hug and kiss

I'd say, “Daddy, Happy Birthday!”

I'd tell you that I Love You.

And I'm proud of who you were

A Loving Husband, Devoted Dad

With a forever grateful little girl.
