it's nice
to have a cell phone
and a land line

"happy father's day...
dad"

said "thank you"

"sorry i couldn't come see you"

"it's ok"

"anyway...
just wanted ta' say
glad ya' were my dad
only one i ever had"

"it's ok.
anyway
i was bad
at bein' a dad"

said " don't be sad"

said "just remberin' my dad"

"can ya' hold a minute"

"dad, gotta go..."

"ok

cell phones ain't land bound
so i dialed heaven
7-11

heard 'em say
"heaven"

"may i speak ta' my dad?"

"ok"

heard dad say...
"son, is that you?"

"it's me"

"can ya' see?
can ya' do
what your supposed to?"

"sorry, dad,
the battery just went dead.
love you"

The first one without our Dads is the hardest one because the wound is still so fresh. You are fortunate to have had your father in your life, many are not so lucky. Happy Father'd Day to you, Steve.
Take care,
Sherry

Shame he was not around for this one,
But he was for many more and then some,
I heard that batteries in heaven are forbidden,
Tell your dad he should keep his hidden...Ed (Happy Dads day to you too you old f***...)
