HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

 

I extend warm greetings to all fathers and their families on Father's Day, 20th June 2021.

I wrote a poem dedicated to my father and I wish to share it with you.

DEDICATED TO MY FATHER

A remarkable man, a national hero, an inspiration to peers.

A list of noble names for my deceased father still adheres.

To me, he was a loving father and faithful friend,

An exemplar to others who desired to follow his trend.

*

In his memoirs, you will discover his love and belief in truth.

High standards of etiquette and model writing skills since youth.

He lived a life that offered much to be emulated.

To noble parenting and family life, he was dedicated.

*

His zest "to follow knowledge like a singing star” inspired passion.

Trinidad Government sent him to the UK for higher studies in Education.

On a scholarship at the London University Institute of Education.

He graduated with a 580-page thesis and was given a promotion.

*

As District Inspector of Schools, his performance was outstanding.

Nothing for him in those primitive days was too demanding.

He attained a Doctorate in Education from a Florida University.

He was courageous and brave, not fearing adversity.

*

All his ten children excelled in various professions.

He was a father with an outstanding reputation.

I was the eighth child in that big loving family.

When I was in banking I compiled his memoirs faithfully.

*

A few years ago I published his Memoirs on Amazon.

It gained many five-star reviews and is in demand.

There are lessons to learn by reading this book.

It’s about the life of a man whom we should not overlook.
