No words of consolation
Spoken , no matter how,
Can help us with the sadness
That we are all feeling now.
But, in the weeks and months to follow
When we might be feeling at our worst
I hope that we can take some comfort
From my little verse
My Dad looked after all of us
He worked hard all his life
For our happiness and contentment
And of course For his beloved Wife
He always wanted the best for us
This was always foremost in his mind
And we were very lucky
To have a Dad so loving and kind
A fathers job is not an easy one
No lessons did ours take
To show the paths of right and wrong
All these decisions he did make
He learnt from any mistakes he made
And of all the decisions that he took
He learnt from loving us and God
Not from some text book
He made us very happy
He helped make us what we are
And I know that he was so very proud
Of his 2 sons and three daughters
God did not make a mould
When he had Fathers in his mind
But if every Dad had been like ours
The world would be a nicer kind
My Dad was no angel
During his life on earth,
But it is only fair now
That he should go to heaven and Claim his worth
Our Dad deserves his place in heaven
Through hard work and kindness it was earned
His body was growing frail and weak
And for Heaven his soul had yearned
He knows that we all will miss him
He knows how much we all cared
He knows that we all loved him
Because of the life together we shared
There is no way he would have left us
If he had thought he should not have gone
He knows we are all grown up and settled
And that his role on earth was done
To His satisfaction
And to Gods Goodwill
In Life our Dad loved us
In Death he loves us still
