My Father My Friend...Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to a man who is my everlasting friend
Thankyou is such a simple word
It can't show the emotion or depth of what my reasons are when I say it
Let me explain why no other card can express the meaning of my father
A man who has always been there for my mother and siblings
Giving us your utmost dedication and always putting us before you
When I look at you I see a man who was just a man
Until you came in our lives
You became a man who has taken us under your wing and had
understanding..patience and more than enough love
I was to young to remember the first day you came into my life
But I remember the bond that grew as we built it over the years
Through happy..sad and trialsome times
But one thing I admired about you was you took me as I was and loved me no
matter the circumstances
I remember the day I felt so proud of you and how our relatonship had grown so
much
I realized that this man took upon himself to be my father
That was when I asked you to adopt me
You taught me alot about family values even though in my life I've tried and did'nt
succeed yet
But I still know what they mean and one day I will have all these things
Because my father taught me not to give up and to be strong no matter what
You have passed on your wisdom over the years
At times I would'nt understand then what it is I understand now
If you did'nt guide me and help shape me
I would'nt be the complete woman I am today
Honestly I appreciate and can't express how thankful I am to have you in my life
A man is just a man from the outside
Your eyes are the windows to the world
Your feet have travelled your journeys
But your heart is pure and the love between a father and daughter flows
Like the streams that intertwine with the lakes which is everlasting
Thankyou and have a wonderful day
