FATHER’S DAY TRIBUTE

Thomas McPherson

August 17, 1938 – September 18, 2006.

Our Father kept a garden.

A garden of the heart;

He planted all the good things,

That gave our lives their start

He turned us to the sunshine,

And encouraged us to dream:

Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self- esteem.

And when the winds and rain came,

He protected us enough;

But not too much because he knew

We would stand up strong and tough.

His constant good example,

Always taught us right from wrong;

Markers for our pathway that will last a lifetime long.

We are our Fathers garden.

We are his legacy.

Thank you Dad, we love you

Your Family
