Find the Strength
Friendly and exuberant
He brought sunshine to the workplace
Loved coffee breaks most
Smoking and chatting with colleagues
He liked to call friends
His favourite topic
None more than his kids
They were the love of his life
The life of his love
Always big plans for the weekend
Fun way up high on the list
Kids growing so fast
They were now at the best age
Able to keep up
Loving thrills and adventure
He was the kind of dad
Everyone wished they had
And that made it even more
Mind blowing and earth shattering
When we heard the gut wrenching news
About an accident with he and his son
Inconceivably devastatingly tragic
How could he carry on with his grief
Where would he possibly find strength
Much too much for anyone to bear
