Murphy, in the morning, and through the decades.

Murphy, in the morning, and through                             the decades.

A 'Newfie' and 'New Scotian' 

Their life paths, they did meet,

'Way back, mid to late '40's

Soon, patter of tiny feet.

A daughter, followed by two sons,

Then "itchy feet" did get, 

So westward they did venture,

Ontario, their target.

In Hamilton they settled down,

"New House - new family"

Our Patrick; then came Kathy,

Two girls, - and boys? - now three.

Young Pat became an 'Altar boy',

And to his school, would walk,

Then studying 'Radio Broadcasting'

He had to "LEARN"? to talk??

( "How now brown cow" what? what? )

Traffic updates, - summer job,

At Hamilton's studio,

First 'full time' job, broadcasting,

Way down there, in Simcoe.

'Twas there he had a 'life change',

A "NEW LIFE" guaranteed,

Paul Fletcher guided him, straight path,

Soon grown, that planted seed.

With CHYM, followed by FAITH FM,

His dulcet tones, would air,

Best known for "Joyful Country",

O'er forty years, that chair.

He loves to be in 'Service',

His first, 'Calvary's fold',

Now Generations pastor,

For ☝️HIM, new lives, help mould.

Persistent in his studies; (pause)

Of books, grand library

Assist with weekly sermons,

To reach to you and me.

We celebrate his birthday,

He's reached three score and ten,

And while he's small in stature,

He's a MOUNTAIN among men.
