A Father's Tribute (In Memory Of Johnnie C Upshaw JR.)
This is for the fathers
Who has been the mainstay in our lives
Who have brought joy, pride and love
Into our lives-
This is for the grandfathers
Whose cherish memories
Will not be forgotten-
This for the men
Who understood the meaning of life
    And
That life is eternal and everlasting-
This is for the men
Who brought liberation
Of thought into our lives
Who understood laughter
As the antidote to enjoyment of life-
For this is for the men
Who can graciously cry
    And
Yet be strong within themselves-
For this is for you dad
For within you
All these attributes
Were portrayed-
This is for all the fathers who share
That common bond
Of life
For in life there is no death
As in death there is no
  End
Only a higher level of existence-
For I know now
That life is only
A moment in time-
This is for you
  Dad
    Whose life has not yet been fulfilled
Your light shines on eternally-
See you soon!
