Happy Father's Day, Dads

I just want to tell all the fathers out there Thank you Thank you for having your seeds Thank you for carrying it to the next generation Thank you for sticking around Thank you for learning to be mom when it is not yours to learn Thank you for giving up certain rights and responsibilities Like giving up your Friday nights with your pals to take care of your son Like going to church when you don't feel like it because you feel like you need to carry on - A tradition, values - that you teach your sons and daughters - A role model for someone who looks up at you - A forever and ever keeper of peace The house would not be the same without you The empty nester would be forever cold without someone to stir it Yes God made you like that The owner of the household - in charge And in peace Rise up and claim your place Chief, captain, top dog Patriarch You are in charge Don't ever forget that Now go Hug your family as they need you Pull your family as you are one unit Don't ever let anything blind you break you, undermine you Yeah you are it And it knows you See :)
