You Never Let Me Down-In You I Believe...........

MY FATHER,
         I thank you, if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be here today
         i thank you for loving me unconditionally as i am,
         i thank you for being always there with an ear to hear me,
         i thank you for showing me the paths i ought to walk,
         i thank you for providing me with good food and health,
         i thank you for being a pillar,everytime i felt insecure,unloved,
         i thank you for forgiven me everytime i got stubborn 
         and did it my way as if i knew better than you know myself,
         i thank you for your big heart,your kindness a radiance upon my soul
        i thank you for being my strength in my weaknesses,every time i fall giving
        me your hand so i rise up again,not scolding me but showering me with love
my dear father,
       i thank you for all that you've created for me,this heaven on earth,
       the beautiful rivers,mountains,forests,water cascades and nature's glory.
       i thank you for the  yellow sun which warms me every morning,
       the sun which brightens my days.i thankyou for the moon and the stars
       which twinkles soft sweet light,lullabying me to sleep....................
       i thank you for the rain which feeds and nourishes the crops,so i may
       eat ,live and survive,i thankyou for the thunderstorms which reminds me 
      of your power,that with you near me i'm safe,you're my knight protecting me.
my dear father,
      i can never stop thanking you,the list is never ending,my last thanks would go
      for the rainbow which every now and then peeps through my window sill,
      the beautiful coloured rainbow which reminds me of the path...........
      the path,the gift of love to me---to your rebellious naughty little child.........
      a grown up woman now,still a child in your eyes-------------------------------
      i love you my father and i can't wait to see you face to face in the land of no            
      sorrows,the land of love,serenity and peace......................................
      thank you dear God for being My perfect DAD
      This big hug is for you ---In my own imperfect love i love you.............
            H A P P Y             F A T H E R'S                          DAY-------------YOUR DAUGHTER

Smile~As I reread this amazingly beautiful acknowledgement and praise of "Our Father Above;" it completely swept me away within its absolute sincerety once more....Again, I could feel "Your Beautiful Heart & Soul," within every word which "Your Wonders Spoke, To 'The Father of Light!!!!'":):)~It made my own melt inside, within such a stirring and joyful way....Do "You" Why? Because it was "You, Charma," whom spoke these beyond glorious words!!!!:):)....Cont....
