Seldom twice uttered;
Once was enough.
Always you cared;
Often were tough.
Strolling to town
You on outside;
Protecting me always
With fatherly pride.
Remember times waiting
on 19th Green.
Few times heard,
But always seen!
Shoes shined glossy
Could see reflection;
Wash behind ears
Aim for perfection!
Those few words
Seldom you'd say;
Taught me well...
Respect, honour, obey!
I loved you ...
Your distant presence;
Those few words;
Your deafening silence.
Now I farewell;
With few words.
... My few words ...
"Rest in Peace"
