Words For Dad...

...Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose...

----Helen Keller---

 

Dad, You are my Hope and my Strength

I accept you as you are

Not what you should be

Realistic Hope

For too much hope

leads to disappointment and despair

The hidden reality is still you

 

I also accept you as you can be

and the potential in me

as I seek a creative

and potential life

 

Today at dawn I am grateful for you

For your faithfulness and kindness

confidence, patience

and imperfection


Forget and learn from the past

I strain towards the goal

In the fullness of time

May I too be an example

for my own family

 

A father’s love

is from above

a prize awaits you at the end

of your days...

A good and faithful servant!


May I always for grateful of you!

Your greatest gift is yourself.

Helen Keller was a woman very wise and understood far more than we give her credit for. The gift of true, induring love is priceless and I am sure your father is very proud....

Be always safe,
Karen

Myles,

Precious reminder - and beautiful words of gratitude from son to Dad. You honor him - and I'm sure he's proud of you - I would be, if I were him - well done -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Wonderful write for Father's Day. Jesus is the greatest gift to us. I find this write is so thoughtful of a father and a son to write it for him. My father was patience itself, so good a one.
