In the quiet of the evening out in the yard
Doug's got a fire burning sparks flying hard
We'd gather close with the warmth so near
In those moments there was nothing to fear
With loyal dogs beside him always full of cheer
Running through the fields never far always near
Harley by his side they roam through the day
In Doug's strong presence they've found their way
He's a steady force always standing tall
With a heart of gold that guides us all
From snowmobiles to motorbikes he rides free and true
But the craft's in his hands and all the things he'll do
Christmas Day we'd wake to a sight so clear
Santa slipped off the roof but the reindeer were near
We'd laugh and wonder how he found his way
Never guessing Doug made the magic that day
He's a steady force always standing tall
With a heart of gold that guides us all
From snowmobiles to motorbikes he rides free and true
But the craft's in his hands and all the things he'll do
In the shop with the dogs I'd hang around
Watching him work no need for a sound
Then after dinner with playful insight
He'd teach us self-defense showing us how to fight
In the big yard where the grass grows tall
Doug's hard work and care are felt by all
With every season's change his love remains
Transforming the space with his steady aims
He's a steady force always standing tall
With a heart of gold that guides us all
From snowmobiles to motorbikes he rides free and true
But the craft's in his hands and all the things he'll do
From the fireside tales to the lessons learned
Doug's presence is a gift forever earned
In every cherished moment and joyful rhyme
His love and care will last a lifetime
