My Dear Father-In-Law

My dear father in law

From the time we first met, I knew we would get along
It's not been a life time but our bond was very strong

You had a way about you, with good friendships along the way
I never heard you raise your voice, a gentle man with strength 

The times we spent together were an enlightenment to us both

You talked about the war and your times upon the boat
How you swept the sea for mines to protect us gentle folk

So many times in my kitchen we would discuss the dinners fate
You often went home after, having a go to replicate 

You humour was renowned, with one liners that made us laugh
Your stories and memories will live on now you have passed
