A Tribute To Father

Father the brave hero of our lives,
Patient beyond words and very kind.

Listens to all our stories,
A friend beyond compare.

There when you need guidance,
Good looking and very fashionable.

A guide through school and graduation,
There when you marry and have children.

A companion when you share sports,
Mentoring excellence at all levels.

Father thank you for all your love and care,
Being there when we needed you.

You are unique and very much loved,
When we were children you read to us and played games that we liked.

Championed us through sports events,
 A kind companion whom we will always treasure.
