For All of The Fathers and Grandfathers here

     

You are the special ones
your magic enchants us
from our earliest days

you indulge us in a way no one else ever can
your loving hands can wipe away the trickle of a tear
and a smile from you can make the sun shine
through the darkest of clouds

the kindness of your spirit is without limits
your strong arms are always there for us
open for hugs and comfort

during the worst of times
the twinkle in your eye
can set things right again

fatherhood...is love without bounds
grandfatherhood...is honor, unequaled

Happy Father's Day to all Fathers and Grandfathers here at Piptalk

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Lyra, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I dream so so much of becoming a dad someday, for while I don't want to rush it, it is also something I want to be in the future and I hope that soon things will look up for me and I can find true joy forever! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet firend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
