In Loving Memory
DAD
The Bond Between a Father and a Son
A father and his son
Are inexplicably bound,
And that bond isn't severed just
Because Dad's no longer around.
A son remembers his father's words,
His wisdom and his wit.
There's never a day the ever goes by,
When the son doesn't find a use for it.
And this is how the father lives on
Inside the heart of his son.
Although they were parted years ago
In this way, the two live as one.
You've Made Me Who I Am, Dad
Life has had its ups and downs,
But your strength and wisdom
always guided me through.
Your laughter and joy
always helped me take one more step.
Your hard work and kindness
inspired me to be who I am today.
As your son, I can never thank you enough
for living the beautiful life you lived.
I love you and miss you, Dad.
Your Loving son Martyn xxx
