Father's Day

Faith filled fervency in fellowship with family and friends 
Always advising with amazing authority and austerity 
True pastor-teacher and talented Jack of all trades
Humble, honest and handsome, he is my hero 
Exemplary evangelist with experience and excellence 
Robust and reliable, he restlessly runs our residence 
Sincere, skilful, smart and sharp-witted with a sensitive side

Dynamic, dauntless and dear, he has a distinctive personality 
Articulate and able, ablaze with abiding, ardent love 
Yeah, he loves yard work and yearns for yonder heaven.

wow, this is SURE to garner a win. You are lucky to have had such an amazing dad. Neither my biological nor my stepdad were religious. My hubbie is not either. So I have not had to worry about any man in my life keeping tabs on my "wayward" ways!! haha. Not that I have been all that bad!! Thanks for all your wise and meaningful comments today, Jo.
