Father-in-law: in memory

Father-in-law was not his name
Dad, Papa, Walt, Wally
He lived each day with vigor
Full of life

He held such passion
Such vision
His will so strong

A man of principle
A man of tact
Of rules and obedience

His tongue was swift
His conversation lengthy
But you always knew where you stood

And though he did not wear it on his sleeve
A heart of gold he had
His love showed through
And now shines down

I will always remember you.

Forever,
Elizabeth
