I started the day celebrating you, dad, I want to also end it in the same rich vein. Words can never be enough to describe what an awesome father you were. It's a huge privilege to have had the honour of calling you my father. This is to celebrate you before I sleep tonight... It's never a good bye because you are always in my heart. To a man who lived not for himself but for others To a man with a heart of gold and wonders Giving himself to others just to save them from blunders Death has to your life, put asunder But your memories would always be evergreen to me Happy posthumous birthday to you, special dad 72 years ago today, to be precise - you were nothing but a lad Always giving, God used you to give hope to lives that were sad I lost count how many people's ways you changed to good from bad Obviously, not everyone was happy, even the devil was mad Everyone knew without doubt that you were a great gift the world had If I am to measure your husband material, it would be over a million yards Your memories would forever linger I've heard so many of your good deeds that everyone points finger Your kindness and warmth has always been my ginger Following in the same path of kindness, nothing can hinder Strong and rugged you were, leading the way like the jeep; Pathfinder Now I look back and smiled - it's been joy to have had you as my father
