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.
