AT TIMES YOU MAY FIND HIM IN HIS ROOM ALL ALONE, REFLECTING ON THE PAST, NOW THAT HIS CHILDREN ARE GROWN. HIS HEART HEAVY WITH SADNESS AS HE STAIRS AT THE FLOOR. HE WONDERS IF SOME HOW, HE COULD HAVE DONE MORE. IF HE'D JUST LET HIS MIND DRIFT BACK TO YESTERDAY, HE WOULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY, THAT HE COULD HAVE DONE ANY MORE THAN HE DID, FOR HIS WIFE AND HIS FAMILY, ESPECIALLY, HIS KIDS! |
HE'S A DAD FOR ALL SEASONS, A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM ABOVE. AND I AM EVER SO GRATEFUL, FOR HIS UNSELFISH LOVE. ![]() DAD, DON'T LOOK ON THE PAST WITH SUCH DEEP REGRET. YOU'VE SIMPLY FORGOTTEN. THINGS I'LL NEVER FORGET. |
I REMEMBER HOT SUMMERS, AND IN LIEU OF A POOL, YOU HOOKED UP THE SRPINKLER TO HELP US STAY COOL. |
WHEN THE LEAVES OF FALL FELL TO THE GROUND, YOU'D RAKE THEM IN PILES FOR OUR LEAPS, JUMPS AND BOUNDS! |
WHEN A DEEP WINTER'S SNOW COVERED THE ICE, YOU PLOWED A LARGE SPACE, AND MADE IT REAL NICE. ![]() AND OUT OF THE SNOW BANKS YOU CARVED US SOME SEATS, TIGHTENED OUR LACES AND DRIED OUR WET FEET. |
WHEN THE BIRDS OF SPRING RETURNED TO NEST, YOU BUILT THEM ALL HOUSES FOR THEM TO REST. ![]() |
WHY, YOU EVEN BUILT OUR OWN HOME SWEET HOME, OUT OF BRICKS AND BLOCKS YOU MADE ON YOUR OWN. ![]() |
WE ATE FROM THE GARDEN YOU TOILED AND TILLED. ![]() YOU'D TAKE US TO THE OCEAN, WE WERE ALL SO THRILLED! ![]() |
I REMEMBER AS A CHILD WE WOULD ALWAYS SING.. A CUTE LITTLE DIDDY... "DADDY CAN DO JUST EVERY THING!" ![]() DAD, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE PAST, DON'T FEEL SO FORLORN. OUR MEMORIES OF YOU ARE NOTHING BUT LOVING AND WARM. ![]() |
God Bless The U.S.A |
