Dad - my guiding force!!!

You walk beside them
You feel.....they have always been there

Yet..... when you meet them,
You realize they never meant to be there


Says my dear old dad

"That does not mean they are bad,

just because it makes you sad
It sure does make you mad
atleast you know where you stand........
"

"You ought to be glad
For where you stand

As life may not always be fair
So bury the potholes with fresh sand

Difficult as I try...
It does make a difference....
To look beyond people for what they are

for perception is from what you hear
which may be different from what they are
"

Ignorant about a zillion things
Innocent about a few more

Somehow with dad around
Everything lost seems found


A guidng force....filled with cheer.

A support system ....always near
Reassurance ....crushing all my fear

A soulful figure.....so pure and clear


Dynamic, Strong, fearless, honest
Simplicity and intelligence at its best

I simply cannot cease to thank God

For having blessed me with someone so dear!

Pa - you simp
ly are the Best!!!!!

another gem from the all-star Daddy's Girl!!! Beautifully etched poetry. Am thinking almost all of us children (some boys, most girls) would relate to these lines really closely!!
