Poemattic: Poetry and Art for the Soul

You became a father to me;

I needed someone to look up to and make proud once again.

You counseled me during hard times.

You protected me when you thought I was not looking.

You taught me that marriage is a heavenly partnership.

I watched how much you loved your children

and then the grandchildren we gave you.

You were so proud when you met your great grandchildren.

You lived a life full of commitment to what is truth and justice.

You were the ultimate patriot.

I may not have told you enough that

I loved you like a father.

I may not have thanked you enough for all the things you did for all of us.

Somehow I think you know now.

We miss you very much.

Rest in Peace!
