Happy Father's Day

I don't remember my father Ever saying "I love you" I don't remember my father Ever holding me or Showing me any affection. My father was not 'Father Knows Best' My father was not ' Andy Griffith' My father was not 'Make Room For Daddy'. But as I've grown older I find that what he was is A lot more important than what He wasn't. He put food on the table He put clothes on my back He taught me to love music...........All music He taught me to love animals. All those things make me who I am And you know.....That's not such a bad thing. Josette Davis Key 2012
