On April twenty ~ 19 sixty one
a new life had just begun
unto Mary and Jim is born a Son
forever he`ll be number one

What a sight this lad did spin
a full head of black hair on him
dimples on his cheeks and chin
their hearts forever he sure did win

Time with my family..
a lot of it was spent away
but were in my heart thru thick and thin
and a good father I claim not to be

Now many years have passed by
Bill`s life is busy and full
as many talents he does ply

It`s very easy to see,
hes a much better man than me
attested by his own family
going on years now of twenty three



He`s added three more loves to my life
my Grand kids Nick and Ally
also "Dynamic Lisa" His Wife
to round out the tally

I write this today
so that I can say
thanks for allowing me
to be part of your family
