12: (13) 14

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Do you know you inspire me?
Your mercy and your grace.
You are the best I have from God
Until I see His face

You set examples for me
As you show me how to love
You are a lesson for me
From my Father up above

From the fruit of his lips
A man is filled with good things.
