My Dad, Love you, I do

22 April 2006


You will always be a best friend
a Dad I can truly love
Every day and all of joy
this father of whom does employ

You will forever be
that man who made me
A man of everything
this eternity a life does bring

My Dad, my number one
you’re my best friend and more
You will always be everything
an eternity of a life to bring

Love you, I do
admire you I will
My father who art thou
from yesterday, until tomorrow
and even now


“Honour thy father and thy mother: and,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Matthew 19: 19 KJV

That rocks.  My mom would love it, because my grandpa is dead.

Actually I'm going to copy and paste it in an e-mail and send it to her, and tell her that i found it on piptalk.

Thanks for your honesty in letting me know, some times sharing is words sharing further afield. Let me know in a message, what you Mum thinks.

My own mother at almost 80 years old, died on March 02, 2006. So I truly miss her right now.

My Dad is 78 and still living

I can feel the love in this write.  I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Your dad must miss her very much, too.  You certainly did honor him here.

Hugs,
