Ode to My Father-in-law

Nina Mason on Mar 4, 2011

Today would have been my father-in-law’s 81st birthday.
This is dedicated to him.

We all miss you

You were one of a kind

There’s no one like you

Such a unique mind

So rough and tumble

And yet so sweet

Born 81 years ago today

It’s fun to imagine you as a babe

A hard working man

So talented and strong

That is how you’ll be remembered

For generations long

Your grandchildren speak of you

Reciting your songs

Bung Binga

They will always live on

It was a sad day when we lost you

Nine years ago

You are a legend

That you should know

So Happy birthday to you

Wherever you are

This one’s for you

My father-in-law

My daughter & her Grandpa Mason

Loved ones are always remembered even when they are gone. We still miss them and never forget to remember them.
