The poem is in praise of a father who does not sing his own praises and therefore others sing his.

Dad

©  Karen K. Boyer
He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there.... A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.

My father passed away very suddenly over the weekend, we will be laying him to rest tomorrow. I wanted to find something that describes the man my father was and this poem seems written for him. It will be a very beautiful tribute to read at his service. Thank you for putting my thoughts and words into form for me.

My dad passed away. It is his funeral tomorrow. I have been trying to write something myself to sum up exactly what he was. I have just stumbled across this poem and we will be using it tomorrow. Thank you very much, the poem is beautiful.
