Ode to Murray

The World lost a great man yesterday. Murray Benson passed peacefully last night.

I found this poem and would like to share it. But before I share the poem, please go to this YouTube video. I think Murray would have liked it.

Doris, Karen, and Craig, our thoughts and prayers are with you.


ODE TO A LOVING FATHER
He wasn’t famous, he wasn’t rich
He just looked after his wife and kids
He made sure there was always food
And clothing that made us look good
He brought us up though strict but right
So we wouldn’t stray into the night
He made sure we learned our game
And be proud of our family name
The world won’t know that he is gone
But lot’s of people (I am one)
Know that the world has lost a man
Who was good and kind and better than
A kid could wish for in a dad
So losing him makes me real sad
I’d like to tribute this to him
I’m sure so would his next of kin
I love you dad, before and now
You rest in peace and this I vow
You’ll always be a part of me
I’ll remember you as it should be
A kind and loving father who
Loved his family through and through
And with this I’d like to end
Goodbye my father, chum and friend.
