Fathers Day Tribute to my dad and yours too

   A  Memorial Tribute to my Dad             

 

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

There ia a line in a song that says....

All good that I have known, I'll  think of you, every step of the  way

I will always love you

My dad loved his family,  and he loved life, he was goodness with a heart of gold.

The author of the poem is unknown  but it could have been written about my dad.

A devoted father and husband, a compassionate man with strength and honor,  my dad was our inspiration, 

our masterpiece, 

,   He is sadly missed by his family.. We love you Dad and thank God he gave you to us

Happy Fathers Day

Very nice tribute to your dad.  Mine has been gone a long time.  They are the anchors of our families, and make such a difference.  Hope you have a nice day tomorrow.

Hi  Sandra ..they are the anchors.  i have always thought my dad was our " rock " not only of our family but of the community and the church.  He has definitely left a legacy to all who knew him. Thanks for the visit

 

 

Happy Fathers Day to you Gary, thanks for the comment and enjoy your day.

When I look at my dad's photo, it reminds me of how every day of his life, even when he retired he wore dress trousers, a white shirt and  tie,   always,, as long as I can remember... It is funny what sparks a memory

 

 

Hi Kris.....honestly this was an emotional post for me to write.  My dad lived  with us during the last years of his life.

( I am so thankful for that ) so as you can imagine,  the solid rock in our lives left an emptiness when he left.
