When you married my Mother

We were already there

And though we were many

You did more than your share

 

You worked hard all your life

To clothe, house & feed

Those children of your wife

Though not of your seed

 

When I was still young

I thought you were mean

Now, all is said & done

And your gifts can be seen

 

Through, respect for my elders

Consideration & manners

All learned from you

After many butt tanners

 

Now, sadly, you are gone

But I hope you can hear

Me saying, Thank you

for things heartfelt & dear

Me saying,

        I love you

And I'll see you up there

                      Poem by,
