I lived my life with only knowing dad as a truckie

He made many friends and to me they were lucky

To know a man who had such a love for life

For all his kids and his loving wife

 

He drove the roads day and night

And some near misses gave him a fright

But that was his job

All the time to earn a bob

 

He had a few years of retirement

To enjoy some life and merriment

Until he and mum became ill

He did his best with his strong will

 

He never let down his guard

Until it all became too hard

In the end he called all his mates

To ask to meet for a final date

 

This special man needed to say goodbye

And asked that they all not cry

He called his children together

To say that in their hearts he would stay forever

 

Enough pain for a life to endure

He wanted to be in peace for sure

He closed his eyes and went to sleep

This man in my heart I will forever keep

 

To my children Nikki and Jason he was POP

To my grandchildren he was BIG POP

To everyone else he was GORDY

But to me he was DAD

 

Lots of Love Always

Your loving daughter

Sue
