The Dad that I Adore

This is the Poem I wrote for Dads Funeral

The Dad that I Adore
By Nita Bourland

He was young and strong,
and could fix anything.
Always teaching me right from wrong,
He was the Dad that I Adored.

As I grew older so did he
At my Wedding he gave me away
Always helping me husband and me,
He was the Dad that I Adored.

When elder age came so fast
Going out for breakfast
Was how our time would often pass,
He was the Dad that I Adored.

Mom tried to care for dad,
Likewise so did we,
Seeing him fall as ever so sad,
He was the Dad that I Adored.

Placing him in nursing care
Was a very heartbreaking time
Sometimes Life just isn't fair,
He was the Dad that I Adored.

He is pain free at last
He loved us until the end,
Rest in peace, your free at last,
He will always be the Dad that I Adored.
