Poem From Daughter (Leslie) :�Forever My Anchor�Your voice still speaks, a quiet guiding light,�A compass in the storm, even in the night.�You built a foundation, strong and deep,�With loving memories for us to keep.�The ship may sail, but your love stays fast,�A lasting anchor, built to last.�Though you are gone, you are not far,�You’re still my guide, my North Star.�Leslie
�Poem From Daughter (Layah):�You may have thought I didn’t see,�Or that I hadn’t heard,�Life lessons that you taught to me,�But I got every word.�Perhaps you thought I missed it all,�And that we’d grow apart,�But Dad, I picked up everything,�It’s written on my heart.�Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be�The woman I am today;�You built a strong foundation�No one can take away.�I’ve grown up with your values,�And I’m very glad I did;�So here’s to you, dear father,�From your forever grateful kid.�Layah

Poem From Wife:
I Remember You�Early in the morning when the birds sing, Light to this world the sun brings, When the�dew drops look like pearls shine, 1 remember you in this heart of mine.�When the sky is covered with a blanket of clouds, The lightning strikes and the thunder�is loud, When the whole world becomes drenched in rain time, I remember you in this�heart of mine.�When flowers bloom in the spring season, And smiles break out for no reason, For�happiness when the weather is kind, I remember you in this heart of mine.�When the ground is full of dried leaves in fall, Of different colors from trees so tall,�Seeing people enjoy themselves while they dine, I remember you in this heart of mine.�In the winter when coldness is all around, And fog comes out of mouths instead of�sound, Looking at the decorated trees so fine, I remember you in this heart of mine.�During those cozy full moon nights, When a cool breeze sends up chills of delight,�Noticing the empty seat by my side, 1 remember you in this heart of mine.�With bare feet / walk on the grass, And relive the days that now have passed, While�listening to music that Sounds divine, I remember you in this heart of mine...
