For all the dad's out there....

==============================
They don't make ém
like they used to in the good ol days
I wasnt there to see it
but I know how they're made

They start with a man
gentle and kind
they're all around
but they're not easy to find

Fathers I know
and fathers I've seen
that's why I still believe
Daddy's don't grown on trees

Understanding, patience,
it takes a lot of love
and knowing that sometimes
love is not enough

They give more than time
than they have to spare
no matter where you go
you can feel ëm there

Holding you hand
and setting you free
that's why I still believe
Daddy's don't grow on trees

I wish I could say
I've seen quite a few
I wouldn't know the difference
if I didn't have you

You're all I know
and from what I've seen
I will always believe.......

Daddy's don't grow on trees.
Happy Father's Day....
to all of you lucky enough to have one.

my gift to all of you. (smile)

thank you Sea.......... dahh.....

I hate typos! lol..

and p.s.

for all of you out there that HAVE dads....

be very very grateful....
Everyone gives MOMS alot of credit.. but
for the record..

you can't make a wonderful woman without a wonderful father..

and you can't make a wonderful man, without a great father.

we need more of them.........

(smile) they are so under-appreciated.

Sea.... make sure you hug him extra hard this father's day!

I never got one. (ok well i had several versions........ temps as it were)

I would be much healthier emotionally today, if I would have had a male figure that was interested in me for something other than , well you know

I envy you very much..........

Thank you for this! Coincidental with the reading, it would have been my father's 78th birthday this day...

I had thought to post something in his honor, but after reading this, I shall just send it to him on angel's wings and he shall smile....

yes, my dear, thank you for this!

Sunshine, I'm extremely honored that would send my words to someone you love.

I'm sure he is watching over you.

thank you from the bottom of my heart...Daddy's are giving the short end of the stick...and like it's been said : any "man" can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a "daddy" and there is no better sound in the world than to hear mine call me by that very special name...again thanks

Love one another-let God do the worrying,
