A POEM FOR MY BELOVED FATHER

My father was a scholar, a philosopher and equestrian
He served during three wars and remained a gentle man

He valued his family and friends and was a silent sentimental
All the love, joy and guidance we felt was not coincidental

He preached the value of family and the respecting of oneself
For not until you respect yourself can you respect anyone else

He enjoyed his country music, watermelon and pies of pecan
I pray God had these waiting where my father was called upon

He was humble, honest and magnetic and loved beyond wealth
Don't feel sad he's not with us just because he has gone stealth

Always they're when you need him, an ear, advice or a hand
I am here to declare with honor my father's the real Super Man

If your father is still living...give him a call.

Quoting preferblackman:

Your father sounds like Heaven is a better place now that he is there, and we are diminished by his absence. I imagine it wouldn't be much like Heaven without that pecan pie, so as he walks with the Son, the pie awaits.


Thank you my dear friend, that was beautifully put!

Jammer:
I know I joke around a lot on this site, however all kidding aside...I am my father's daughter and if you are ever on this side of the U.S., pecan pie and a fresh and fragrant cup of coffee is on me!!! ;-)

He sounds like the kind of man I'd really like to have known...and shared a slice pecan pie with.

My sympathy and best wishes to your family.
