My poem for dads funeral

by Andrea Johnson

My father,

He loved times with the enjoyer's,

Trips abroad with special mates

Seeing who could drink the most, and who could get more dates

They called him " dapper diamond Johnny "

The 'Del Boy' with a jag ,

Football was his passion and he flew the gunners flag.

He had his box at arsenal

There for every game

He followed local teams as well

He loved them just the same

He always had a ton of friends so he kept a few as best

Denis hills the butcher,

Bruce heath coat, Red,

And John west

My dad was strict but soft as well

And we always towed the line

We had so much respect and love for him

What ever he said was fine.!

He was always the joker in the pack

A wild card through and through

He made and laughed at all the rules and then he'd break them too

He raised thousands and thousands of pounds for charities close to his heart

Mainly for special children who hadent much of a start.

Lastly and fittingly

A thought I will hold close forever

My dad once said to me

" when my time is up you will never walk alone

I will always be one step behind you

And when it's your time I'll be there waiting

Goodbye dad I love you x
