Poem
Happy 60th Birthday Dad It’s time to reflect on the great life you’ve had A reflection on your times of yore And the years to follow which will be many more You were born July the 3rd 1947 Today we celebrate your 60th on July the 3rd 2007 You came from a family of nine Amongst family is where you truly shine You have given loved ones so much joy It makes me so proud that I am your boy You’ve been happily married for more than half your life You have been a supporting husband to your wife You have worked so hard to give your family what they need Always clothed, always homed and an abundance of feed Us kids have never gone without You have always given willingly without a single pout You have always shown a passion for sport So much so you were once the president of a club in the Port You were at all our games cheering from the side And along with mum always gave us a ride You showed me how to kick and catch a ball And taught me the importance of standing tall You taught me to always give my best Especially when there’s a challenge or a test I here you were quite the sportsman as a young man But injuries got the better of you and that pleasure you had to can A handy spin bowler on the cricket field A hard at the ball footballer that could have done with a shield You taught me the value of earning an honest dollar And that it doesn’t matter if it’s not in a shirt and collar You are such a proud and positive man For you there’s no cannot only I won’t or I can You have shown belief in yourself when others would be depressed It’s a credit how you handle pressure while others get stressed You are the rock when others crumble You manage to stand tall while others stumble You accept that no one is infallible or perfect And that the best compliment you can receive is respect As your son I am honoured to carry on your surname I hope my actions will one day lead to its deserving fame You have worked so hard and long you deserve a great retirement When the time comes I hope it is filled with so much excitement Travelling overseas and relaxing with your wife There couldn’t be a better way to spend the later years of life A better father you could not be We are all so proud of you, especially me I hope celebrating your birthday brings you lots of joy From one man to another who will always be your boy Here’s to many more years of bliss like the ones you’ve had Happy 60th birthday Dad
