Papa

He toiled and moiled to put our needs on the table, 
Never mind the job he wanted his kin stable, 

Poppa was indubitably the best, 
His generosity could clearly manifest, 

I will proclaim to all and sundry, 
That his legacy and integrity be potently, 

Through out our lives we shall reminisce, 
All the sacrifices that we now miss
