There He Stands

He stands for all that's good,
and for everything that's right.
When life seems dark and dreary,
he stands as a beacon of light.

He's respected by all who know him.
Loved by his family.
His honour is beyond question.
He's a man of integrity.

He stands as a great example.
The best anyone ever had.
He stands tall, above them all.
There he stands…My Dad

Loving thoughts are with Glenda and family at this very sad time.
