    " A Dad "

We honour special men today
We bestow upon them our love and thanks
Dedicate their livelihood in our lives
They rate high up there in the ranks

For all the times he might have scolded
Perhaps disciplined in a way or two
He loves you just as equally, even more so
That is true

For when he was a part of your birth
And in your milestones in life to come

He is your hankerchief for sorrow
Your laughter companion at best
Your cushion for fea
Sharing his special brand of joy
Not always obvious to show
But definitely sincere

Now he has evolved into seniorship
His memory and health not always clear
On the other hand
In the prime of his life
Glad to be here

Take him by his hand
A stranger in your care
Visit him spiritually, physically
Acknowledge you are there

He is a brother, and uncle
Grandpa and all that
We put them through the wringer
Haven't we all done that

Perhaps the time has come
When the journey of life departs
Just remember him always
As he walks along you forever
In harmony with both your hearts

Give him a smile
Never be sad
Forgive him if when mad
After all, really

A round of applause please
Because indeed he is
A Dad...
