Steadfast.

Goldfinch60



He’s always there like some ancient watchmen

Ever vigilant, ever reliable

A comfort in the darkest hours

A beacon in the lightest days

Never asking, never taking

Just waiting in the background

A patient guardian

I never realised until today

That he is always there

In the wind, shine or rain

I never acknowledged what he does for me

He fulfils my wants but more importantly my needs

I’ve not had to ask, I’ve not had to beg

He doesn’t judge, he only cares

My steadfast dad, my rock, my friend

I love you father, until the end

                A poem... Truly a gift of the heart. Your son really loves you, I'm very happy for both of you, and happy that we all have this fantastic poem. By the way, Sing Sing Sing is literally my favorite song. Excellent song choice, Gold 🙂

                  Thank you Tom, we have always got on together in his 44 years of life.

                  Sing,sing, sing is one of his and my favourites as well.
