Fathers Day

F-irst love and best friend
A-lways taught me to be kind
T-hat encouraging smile 
H-ealing the sick, to count on faithfully
E-yes that saw beyond what could be
R-eal life hero right next to me
S-ilent strength with a tender heart

D-octor by profession, working tirelessly
A-lways would say hold your head up high
Y-oung at heart, great was his company!
