From the moment that we met
Until present day
You have been my rock true
In every single way

When I was very small
Do you remember the day at the park? I do
When upon looking up
I saw those eyes of blue

Eyes that hold such love
Such tenderness, so kind
Yes those eyes of blue soothed me
As I let the pages of past rewind

Now here I stand a woman of twenty four
And those eyes of blue look back at me
In those eyes I see eighteen years of love
But that's not all I see

I see years of hard work
Giving us girls all you had
I see memories tucked away on a shelf
Both happy good and sad

I see the strife of man
Who lost his wife way too fast
Who gave his soul and heart to his children
To give them a future that would last

Dad...there's only one thing left to say
Only one more thing I want you to know
Though there are many changes coming up head
My love for you will continue to grow.

Happy Father's Day. I love you so very much.
You still are my rock, my best friend, and
the greatest man I've ever had the pleasure of
knowing!

Amy,

This was sooo lovely!!  Your hearts shines through each word beaming with your love for him.  I am sure he feels the same way.  I hope you give this to him for Father's Day, he'd love it.  Awesome work, girl!

gentle smile, Amy/Aim, what a touching, beautiful gift you just gave for Father's Day. Speaking as one, you should know that was a most precious gift, more than you will ever realize...Well done

Ohh I see tears pouring from the deep blue sea of his eyes.

Beautiful Miss Amy!
