“FATHER”

 Those who go through life without a father, recognize a missing link,
Of course, you are never really without a father, if you have faith,
What you will miss are the strong arms to carry you as a child,
Someone who really never wants to let you go,
Someone to whom you will always be, “Daddy’s little girl” or “My son,”
No matter how old the tether of friendship, that love will bind you together forever,
It’s not a dream; it’s a life long memory,
A memory crowded with all the wonderful moments you shared, and do share,
If he’s always there when you need him, he’s truly “a father,”
Can you ever forget how proud you were, and are to say, “This is my father (my dad, my daddy, my pop)?”
How much more beautiful can a relationship be?
There’s comfort and safety in the knowledge that he is there,
And that you are his “pride and joy,”
He is part of you; you are part of him,
Always will be,
How proud do you feel, when he says, “This is my daughter,” “This is my son,” “These are my children!”

So, all you “Special” dads, enjoy your “Special” day,
You deserve it!

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”
