Ode to my Dad

Written for: Poetry Jam - Tribute

Quiet and gentle,

Great strength of character

Peaceful mantle

A true benefactor

Always a good word

Seeing goodness in all

Faced life undeterred

Through many a squall

Loving and kind

Humble and unassuming

Beautiful mind

Never complaining

A smile on his face

Always encouraging

Filled with grace

Ever forgiving

This was my dad

A man amazing and rare

I was truly blessed 

To have been in his care

~x~

Be at peace Dad.

Siblings and Birthdays

This year my brother and cousin celebrate a milestone birthday (60th) and as the prompt at GBE2 is Siblings I thought I would write about them.

To my brother

Great achievements all your life

A great role model for my children

Calm and collected during strife

When you speak we listen

To my cousin

You dedicate your life to help the needy

Educating children who cannot afford

Always happy to lend a hand readily

My faith in humanity you restored

My cousin runs a school for hearing impaired children from low socio economic backgrounds that provides them with free education. I have entered a writing challenge and if I win, I will donate the prize to her school.

Please visit my post at http://1hw.in/project100-a65-umwelt-by-suzy-q/

Your visit and comments may help me win and thereby help these children that otherwise would not have the means to have an education. A little goes a long way.

My sincere thanks to all.

And Happy Birthday A and B. All good wishes for the year ahead.
