BEVERLEY, DO YOU HAVE COFFEE MADE

 A THANKSGIVING DAY
 IN THE LATE 90'S

DAD ALWAYS SHOWED UP EARLY

WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE

HANGING HIS COAT, JACKET WITH

HIS HAT

TAKING HIS PLACE IN THE FIRST CHAIR

AS YOU ENTER THE FAMILY ROOM

IT WAS HIS PLACE FOR 21 YEARS

THEN HE WOULD SAY HELLO BEVERLEY

IS THE COFFEE READY  HE LIKED IT HOT

AT EVERY MEAL OF HIS LIFE



HE WAS AT OUR HOME FOR EVERY CELEBRATION

UNTIL THE LAST YEAR OF HIS LIFE

THE DINING ROOM WITH THE HONOR CHAIR

WAS EMPTY, IT TOOK YOUR BREATH AWAY

WE BRUSHED A TEAR FROM OUR EYE

OH IT HURT

NO ONE SIT IN HIS CHAIR

Dad died this year on March the 2nd
living a full life maybe not always
the life he had dreamed of but it was
his life and he is to be admired for
he choose well
