Title: I Thank You Daddy, Today
Tags:
Blog Entry: My Daddy, 1942, one year before I was born. Daddy shortly before he passed in 1998 @ 87. There are so many things I could thank my Daddy for; reading the "funnies" to me on Sunday mornings, teaching me to play baseball, playing mumbly peg, riding a horse, this list can go on. Daddy was a quiet, gentle man and a gentleman at all times. I thank God we were able to spend his final years together. I miss him dearly. I will always love you, Daddy. The following is a poem written by a friend of mine and I'm taken the liberty of changing Dad to Daddy, as that's what I called my Daddy. I Thank You Dad, Today Thoughts of you come drifting back Within this heart of mine I take a trip to yesterday Another day in time. A time when I was growing up And you were always there Put to the test, you did your best You handled things with care. For holding out, not giving in When others got their way For saying "no", my strength did grow I thank you Daddy, today. To you give so many thanks For teaching right from wrong For many lectures you bestowed I sing a different song. I thank you for the sacrifice Of working everyday For all you gave in this life I'm thinking of you today. I thank you for your faith so strong For many days in Church For leading me to Jesus Christ I did not have to search. For all I am I owe to you You surely led the way So many lessons learned in life I thank you Daddy, today. (Used with permission by) ~ Marilyn Ferguson 2005 ~
