Happy Birthday Dad!





Oh Dad, you know I think you're the BEST! Thanks for spoiling me and always loving me. Thanks for being the fun, loving, big-hearted, funny, giving, dependable, wonderful, special, spiritual Dad that you are. You are the best example for me to look up to. You mean the world to me. I love you tons and tons! And thanks for always being here for me in every way! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! You deserve it!

This poem made me think of you.


Whole volumes have been written
of fathers and their sons.
Why must daughters and their dads
be such forgotten ones?

There are special ties that bind
a daughter to her dad.
And a certain kind of feeling
that sons have never had.

She goes to dad for counsel
when things get out of hand.
She knows he has the answers,
that he will understand.

From him she gets her courage;
she thrives upon his praise
and sometimes takes advantage
of his kind, loving ways.

With due respect to Mother,
today I'm proud and glad
to write a little poem about
a daughter and her Dad!

LOVE YA DADDY!
