What Makes A Dad


A tribute to my dad on the recent Father's Day...

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.

NB: This is NOT an original composition by me, but by a guy named Penny Parker. This is a poem that really touched my heart, so I've posted it...
