Our Dad

Your cornflower blue eyes danced to your own tune, With your warmth and kindness that was like a beautiful cocoon, Your beaming smile like the welcoming glow of the eternal moon, Our dad had gifted hands that encouraged flowers too bloom, With extreme beauty they showed off their splendour, Even when the rain would pour, The flowers stood proud, With your powerful presence so loud But sometimes people were deaf as you spoke your mind, With the twinkle in your eyes that seemed to hold all of time, You mesmerized people with your natural wit, Like a candle that is lovingly lit, It was the same when you were just a boy you were loved by all, As the years passed the leaves began to fall, You gave your final bow to family and all, I miss so much your love, wisdom and caring ways, With the light of your heart gone from every day, I like to imagine that when you departed you heard your favourite song, 'It's a Wonderful World' as you were full of joy and never wrong, A song to welcome you to heaven above, Because you cared so much with your great love, Even after the leaves fall, you showed us how to stand tall, And to always reach for the twinkling stars above, That hold the eternal light of your love.
