Remembering Poem
By Kelly Muszak
Husband, Brother, Teacher, Dad
Many roles in life you had.
Always there to listen, offering words of advice.
One liner jokes, golf shots precise.
As I held your hand, trying to make you see,
That you were the best dad you could possibly be.
I picture your parents are with you again.
Your brother’s embrace, asking “Where have you been?”
As I stand at your golf tee, a place you held dear.
I sense your calm spirit and quiet smile near.
Until we can meet again, we’ll hold you in our heart.
Your impact in our lives will never depart
