A Tribute To A Nobleman

When I was born you held me close,
I shushed up as you kissed my head,
And while I fought and screamed with her,
You could calm with no words said.

I wanted to be just like you,
Big and strong; so noble -kind,
I watched you as you fought each day,
A greater man no one could find.

You worked yourself away for us,
While she worked to pierce your soul,
It took her years to win that fight,
For your heart was made of gold.

'Sing a little song for you,
With eyes wide open; heart so true'

Humour; music your escape,
While love your blessing and a curse,
For she used what she knew best,
Hit you; struck you where it hurt.

You taught me love; healed my wounds,
You barred the way and drew me close,
You were my Hero, and as you lie,
I cherish you the very most.

Dad you were my Superman,
I loved you till the day you died,
I wish that I had known back then,
Yet in my heart you're still alive.

'I love you Dad, I say Goodbye,
As all things noble, one day die'
