Premium MemberA Father For Life

A man most loved and hated

For life you cared for after being berated 
A man of honor or whatever
Teaching, telling you things with valor 
  or surrender 
Hide and seek you grow and forget 
Every tear you shed and regret
Relief in your sorrows

Forging a mark in you that follows
On special occasions you missed the same 
  man
Rejoicing or mourning alone 
  like a sandman 

Left under the Sun that churns
In your body that warms and spurns
Feels like you're a hero or "Super"
  when guided
Every step you take, you breathe 
  as molded and guarded!

Man of steel.
Don’t you know?
The real deal!

He’ll never go.
And always stay.
His help bestow.

Need not dismay.
Dauntless, he will
noble heroics display!

Someday

When I grow up, 
I want to be... like my father. 
He serves in the military, 
and helps other people 
around the world. 
He fights for the innocent. 
He lives in the Light. 
He is a good man. 
When I grow up. 

When I grow up, 
I want to be... like my mom. 
She is a nurse at a hospital. 
She helps people that are sick, 
get better. 
She is a warrior. 
She is a soldier, 
in the army of God. 
When I grow up. 

When I grow up, 
I want to be... 
everything that I can be, 
so that my mom, 
and my dad, 
will be proud. 
I want them to know 
that they did a good job, 
and gave me hard lessons, 
that I learned from, 
and still made me feel 
loved and cared for. 
When I grow up.

Premium MemberA Father's Day Prayer

Though tempest's foaming deep swells far from land 
and restless waves should buffet his small boat,
the Captain at the wheel with steady hand 
trusts Providence to keep the crew afloat.
A Shepherd finds green pastures for his flock 
protecting them that they may safely dwell 
and carries injured lambs who cannot walk 
to nurture them with love until they're well.
Preparing lesson plans and lecturing,
the Teacher answers questions patiently -
delighting in the joy knowledge can bring,
imparting light for growing eyes to see.
Lord, please grant wisdom, strength, and grace to me
to captain, shepherd, teach my family.

Premium MemberFathers Day

Filled with kindness 
Always gentle and loving
True to his children
Hopeful they will always 
Earn respect and be wise
Rejoicing in what is good
Showing others compassion

Dreaming good dreams
And giving his whole heart
Yearning to please a heavenly Father!

Premium MemberMy Daddy Was a Ketchup Man

My daddy put ketchup on everything.
He would not taste his meat without it,
and he always had meat.

Pizza and spaghetti were things the kids
could abide, but not him.
Chicken on Sunday maybe,
but he wanted beef all the other nights
with lots and lots of ketchup

He did not stop there.
Ketchup on eggs.
Ketchup on casserole.
Ketchup on meatloaf.
Ketchup on mushrooms, ketchup on ketchup.

It used to irritate my mother.
I imagine she would like to watch him put that ketchup
all over his plate one more time.

Premium MemberFather's Days

like waves crashing against the shore like wind blowing thru the trees during a storm you have given me something that my heart cannot ignore your melody i sing like a strong magnetic force like birds to a tree like sunlight to leaves like an egg to seed you are my daughter and thru my heart I see your beauty and potential your smiles I breathe your laugh and joyous shouts gives me the greatest feeling that I have ever felt Thankyou, I say because if it wasn’t for you I never would have celebrated father's days

TO Dad

Shout it out aloud
We are so proud
Truly  glad 
Have you as our dad

You’re a star
Even from afar
You know your ace
We don’t say it to your face

Your humour is dry
It makes us cry
With laughter of course
Of course of course

A true gent you really are
Taking us everywhere in the car
Walking round mountains is a must
Just round the corner see you for dust

You made us who we are this day
So what more can we say
You sit back  and chill today


HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Premium MemberHappy Father's Day, Dad

Happy Father's Day, Dad,
You know, You Da Man,
And I just want to let you know,
That I'm your biggest fan.

There's no one else in all the world,
Who'd do the things you do.
You're there whene'er we need you.
No matter what, there's you.

You're the man who has the plan,
The one I always turn to.
My buddy, pal, my mentor,
There's fathers, then there's you.
