Array ( [sid] => 51776 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => For my Father [time] => 2004-06-13 19:34:01 [hometext] => I wrote this last in 2003 for my father's 67th birthday. I'm 1 of 15 children from the same mom and dad who are still together and still very much in love. I love you daddy! [bodytext] => For my Father

You are a man by whom all fathers should be measured,
With undying love from your children, you are truly treasured.

As children you made us feel safe and protected,
Memories of love and security, we all have collected.

We turn to you now when feeling lost,
Your kind and loving words could have no cost.

You taught us about family and about God from above,
You’ve set a foundation for a house full of love.

You take pride in your children and cherish your wife,
The example you’ve shown will help see us through life.

I love you daddy, and give you great praise,
For the loving family you’ve helped to raise.

Now this is the kind of man who should be held up for hero worship. This is the kind of man that keep families going and teach their children to be decent, loving, responsible citizens. Who in turn nuture their children the same way. Fantastic tribute to an obviously fantastic man.
