You taught us to sail,
to capsize and come up
laughing
To climb and when we
reached the top
to aim higher
Your life mantra was
mind over matter
never complaining
Quiet and allergic
to small talk
a few pints
would loosen your tongue
the tales you told,
the life you lived
the things that could
have changed you
never did,
in everything and always
you remained steadfast
and true.
Love you, Dad
Rest in Peace.
