FATHER'S DAY

 

Yesterday was Father’s day…a day father is the star… 

a day we celebrate his role in helping to make us who we are.


Father’s ride with us on the roller coaster that is our life

It’s nice to know they’re there. 

We look to them to show us when to hold on tight

and when to ride with our hands up in the air.


When it comes to their children I imagine

every father has felt every emotion from the great to the good to the bad…

Which they know was totally worth it

when they hear…I love you Dad.


And when we hear those words…

we know fatherhood was not a hoax

despite the mistake we’ve made along the way…

and our repertoire of Dad jokes. 


I heard from all my children yesterday…

and it always makes me smile

when they call to say I love you…

or just to talk a while.


But I am lucky for this is not an isolated incident

my children have found a multitude of ways

to make every day I’ve been a father

feel like Father’s Day.
