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
