Dad, I know you would not want me to say..
but I miss you every single day.
You were my hero from an early age
my guardian, my teacher, my wisely sage.
You and Mum raised us all with such love.
Handling us all with kitten gloves.
Your knowledge and experiences you would freely impart.
You really were oh so smart.
There was nothing you wouldn't do
To keep your Family close to you.
An arm to hold us, stop us falling down.
An ear to listen when no one else was around.
You were strength
You were smart
You were fun
You were loyal
You were our rock
We won't forget you Dad, you'll never leave our hearts.
Love you xx
Truly heartfelt, Jackie, and such noble words to honor your father as the hero he was to you and your family. This is poetry straight from the heart, reminding us all how important fathers are to families! Thanks, Jackie!
