about

A song that serves as a commemoration of my Uncle Joe, a lifelong husband, father, and farmer, a godfather and a hardworking, wonderful, warm and kind human being.

lyrics

A Special Man
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 2010

God made a special man, when He made you.
With strong and gentle hands, and a heart that’s true.
Blessed you with family, a loving wife, three sons;
It’s through the special man, the Lord’s work is done.

God raised a special boy, not just another Joe,
In a large loving family, to learn all you should know.
A soul full of family values, faith, hope and charity.
Grew to be a special man, tall and strong for all to see.

To draw bounty from the earth, God sent a special man
To Mary, raise a family, and live to work the land.
From daybreak to the setting sun, through drought and driving rain,
You lived life a special man and you’d do the same again.

God called a special man, to be up there by His side.
Knowing faith as strong as ours, would help the grief subside.
We know that you hear our prayers and whispers at your door.
We shared life with a special man; we couldn’t ask God for more.
