HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
I wrote a poem for you dad
I wanted you to see
How blessed you made my
life
And what you did for me.
I recall your laughter and
the love
You constantly expressed
You taught me right from
wrong
Our home was surely
blessed.
You taught me how to ride
a bike
To fish and hunt with you
You taught me how to talk
to God
In everything I do.
You sat and listened
patiently
To all my silly whims
But even when you doubted
me
I saw the approving grins.
Mother was your pride and
joy
And what a wonderful sight
To see the love of parents
And never see them fight.
You worked so hard all of
your life
You had such little time
But you touched the hearts
of everyone
You especially---touched
mine.
For you see dad--I'm just
like you
I know you'd be proud to
see
That I'm the wonderful
father
Like you--turned out to
be.
A husband, father, and
grandpa
Just like you once were
too
I dedicate my love of life
To fathers just like you.
I know you smile down on
me
I see the twinkle in your
eyes
As I lay my flowers upon
the ground
You watch me by and by.
Someday we'll meet again
dad
And you will surely see
How much of me is just
like you
The man--I wanted to be.
I dedicated this to my
grandpa Winans.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD
I write this poem about a
man
Who means the world to me
He's dedicated his whole
life
To us--his family.
From the time when I was
little
And he carried me back
then
Till the time when I got
married
And he held my shaking
hand.
At night we'd go to the
park
And swing and run and play
And when I was too tired
to walk
I got carried the rest of
the way.
My dad would take me
hunting
And as I stood by his side
We never could shoot
anything
Too much noise--I guess
that's why
He always brought me home
a pet
Not dogs or cats or birds,
He brought me home a
chipmunk
An owl, a squirrel, a
frog.
He taught me how to ride a
bike
And how to drive a car
He taught me how to be
myself
And most importantly of
all
He taught me how to love
life itself
And trust in God above.
So I dedicate this poem to
you
For being my wonderful dad
And for always being there
for me
Through all the good times
and the bad.
So relax today dad and
enjoy yourself
As we all honor you
For you are the best
deserving dad
This days made just for
you.
I dedicated this poem to my dad
