My Tribute Poem by SHARON YAKOWA

My father my teacher
A Christian by faith
whose ways were prudent and bright as day,
Never gave reason to hate yet you wonder day by day his ways.
My father my teacher
Patience and virtue made him a host
Most benevolent
Once described his place 'bitter sweet',
His life was of hope with in- heritance that can never perish
with words of wisdom spittle
his faith and life dwelled in the lord and the lord in him
