Posted in My Poems

As you know if you have been reading my blog lately the kids and I have declared June as Father's Month and have been doing things every day to honor my kids dad.  Today I want to take a few minutes and honor my own dad...

He Was My Dad

He was my dad,
He was always there for me.
He made me laugh and listened to every word I said.

He was my dad,
He complimented me daily.
He believed in me.

He was my dad,
I knew it was the most important thing in the world to him.
I probably took him a little for granted,
Although I somehow always knew he was the cream of the crop!

He was my dad,
I loved to hear him sing in church,
And smell his cologne,
And make him proud...

He was my dad
I never had to wonder if he loved me.
He told me he did everyday.
He lived his life in a way
That proved his family was the most important thing to him.

He was my dad
And if I ever dissapointed him
He never let it show.
He was my dad and
Being with him was always something I cherished.

He was my dad,
He loved  my Mom
Together they showed me what marriage should be like.

He was my dad,
I pray that I am a bit like him.
I hope that even though my kids never knew him
They see a part of him in me everyday.

He was my dad,
I know without a doubt that I was blessed.
He taught me so much
About being the peron I want to be.

He was my dad,
I am so glad he loved the Lord,
Because I know
That someday we will meet again.

He was my dad,
And that made all
The difference in my life...

Thank you dad!
