You may have thought we didn’t see,
Or that we hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to us,
But we got every word.
Perhaps you thought we missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, we picked up everything,
It’s written on our hearts.
Without you, Dad, we wouldn’t be
The men we are today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
we’ve grown up with your values,
And were very glad we did;
So here’s to you, dear dad,
From your forever grateful kids

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
