A poem I wrote for my Dad's 70th birthday.
Ode to Dad

An ode to Dad, my dear old dad;
He’s the only dad I’ve ever had.
6/4/36, that’s the day
When in to this world he came to stay.
For better and for worse he’s been there
To help me through each toil and snare
Of life.

True there’s been more bad than good,
But by my side he’s always stood.
He’s taken me here, he’s taken me there;
The support he’s shown’s beyond compare.
I hope he’s around for many more years;
Give three cheers
For a wonderful life!
