There is a day set aside
to honor dad, it's true
He earns a weekly wage
to keep his family
warm and safe
and buy the groceries too.
Sometimes he hardly knows
what is right or wrong
but does his best
to be right there for you.
Other dad's who renege
have no time for you
wrapped up in their fears,
and don't know what to do.
They stay away
and pretend
their happiness is well
but in their hearts
they know they're wrong
and wish they could break the spell.
So on this day, his special day
each child, must really think
about this man
who has spent his life
making life so good or bad
and take the time
to pray for him
so he can find his way
to be the very best dad
today and every day.
I wrote that story poem many years ago and still believe that all fathers deserve a break. It would be easy if there were blueprints to show the way, but it is 'by the seat of the pants' that learning takes place and a life time of trying to become Father of the Year . . . and believe it or not, most make it...right to the top. I have a special place in my heart for the surrogate fathers who spend a life time sharing their love to a needy child. Special men who deserve extra praise.
So today remember that special man who gave all that he was capable of in his caring and sharing of his love for you. If he has gone on to greener pastures, light a candle in his honor and know he left a little of himself within you. And . . . if he is still around "make his day" and have a sharing and caring day to remember for a life time. Hugs to all.
