One Of My Hero's

I never really knew the man,
Yet I feel as though I have known him all my life.
He died when I was four months old,
But throughout my family he is still very alive.

So many stories have been shared about him.
I wish I could say they were all good,
But if I did I would be lying.

In response to the question who does she look like.
He always said, she looks like herself

He suffered a stroke that paralysed the left side of his body.
Whenever he clapped he could only move one hand,
I know I clap the same way.

I wish he was still alive today,
I guess everyone would wish for this,
He will always be one of my hero’s,
Love you forever Pop.
