Father of Three
Father of three
Arthur by name, the arts were his passion
Teacher of accounting, Little League, whistling
Heard on radio performing original children’s stories
Even tempered, steadfast mentor and protector
Raised by an aunt to be the father he never had
Singer, dancer, player of the sax and clarinet
Dad, this Father’s Day I stare at your portrait
And a few teardrops fall again
Your absence is never missed more than on Fathers Day
