Father's Day Tribute To My Dad

Father's Day Tribute To My Dad

So many Father's days that you and I can not share
 so very much has happened that I needed you there
My first time learning to drive that 'ole truck
 my first job , sweating so hard to make a buck!

Strange new feelings after my first real date
 somebody to help me when I got her home so late
A shoulder to lean on when I lost my first love
 a loving hand to often give me a much needed shove!

Words of wisdom when I faced losing my great job
 gentle mercies spoken when I finally broke and sob
Steady influences to curb my very wild young ways
 your love to hold so very dear all my earthly days!

The awesome joy of the birth of my first beautiful son
 the shared happiness of my house build finally done
Shared journeys of our treasured families happily living
 the great blessings you were always so joyously giving!

On this forty-fifth Father's day desperately missing you
 I thank God for the fifteen loving years shared , we two
Knowing you are looking down with prideful ,loving heart
 two spirits and loves joined together are never truly apart!

Forty -five years now and rarely a day goes by that I do not
still greatly miss my Dad. He was truly one of a kind and a 
very loving and generous man.. Greatest man I've ever known..
