Fathers Day Remembered

He was no ordinary man From the moment, his life began A treasure to his family My hero he would always be. We shared a bond throughout his life He inspired strength, while facing strife With his disease, showed me the way Knowing my path would come someday. A craftsman to the very end Give up, he vowed he would bend He’d wheel his chair into his shop His urge to create would not stop. The final day came in his bed His doctor standing at his head Dad made a joke, all had a laugh Mom at his side to share his path. Suddenly, his heart failed to beat His final breath was no defeat Tho it was time to leave this place He died with a smile on his face!
