What can I say to ease our pain at the sad fact we'll never hear your voice again,
Your stories of the past, the funny songs you'd sing, your peculiar taste of jazz and swing,
You dreamed of being a millionaire the fact you weren't we didn't care,
You made us laugh, you made us smile
our memories of you are so worthwhile,
Your silly quotations of Oscar Wilde the stories you told of being a child,
It's so hard to believe you're really gone, the silence is deafening as you never stopped yacking on!
You really were one of a kind such a loving gentle kind of a guy,
Your love for my Mum was deep from your soul, it showed in your eyes without her you wouldn't have been whole
She stood by your side in your time of need she helped you carry on live life and believe,
We will miss you a lot and never forget the jokes we all had calling you a lazy get,
But we knew you were poorly and we understood you really meant well and your heart was good,
Life is a journey with chapters of past and special times that will always last,
You joked with Lennon about Liverpool and Leicester at least none of you supported Manchester!
Rodney would sit and chat with you but one things for sure he really got you,
Mason would visit and make you laugh with silly behaviour and being daft,
You'd come home from work when we were small I'd get so excited as you walked through the hall,
My Dad, my hero,
God you were tall
This is our goodbye
with love from us all
Rest in peace

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem for my Father who recently passed away in March of 2016. He had struggled with schizophrenia for many years but truly was the most gentle guy you could ever meet.

WELCOME KERRY ~ Thanks for a very sensitive first poem ~ beautifully penned. I still have my Dad but I can empathise because I have lost close friends and relations. It paints a lovely picture of a really nice and funny Dad and a loving daughter. I also like the fact that your Dad was not alone. He had his loving Family and Friends ~ Lennon ~ Rodney ~ Mason to talk with about football. I'm an Evertonian and I like anyone who doesn't support MAB CITY or MAN U but supprts Liverpool ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ BRIAN
Thank you so much
Rodney and Lennon are my two sons and Mason is my nephew but they all truly loved their Grandad he is sadly missed. He was a Leicester man and sadly never got to see the winning results of his home town.
beautiful tribute to dad, one fine day you will meet again. RIP
