'twas You His Very Own Boy

So proud of you
from the very first time
he held you in his arms
and as you grew
he could see in you
the young man
you would become
his ultimate pride
when going to Uni
was on graduation day
as patiently waiting to see his boy
walk across that stage
finally your name 
and when you came 

         Dad
       whistled                    
                        Dad 
                    whooped

                  Dad 
            clapped with joy

                                         for on that stage
                                         his pride and joy
                                   'twas you his very own Boy…

Tom Ann Gilmour June 24, 2020 at 3:03 PM Thank you Tom, I wrote this for my grandson on Fathers Day, now without his Dad. We are still in pain at our loss. Thank you Tom, my son was so very proud of his son and those memories of last August are still so vivid - such a special day. Yes I am okay Tom and the weather is very hot here, but so nice to see the sunshine. I trust you are getting the same. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
