Jun. 14, 2008 - Happy Father's Day
In honor of Father's Day tomorrow, I just had to copy this poem. I found the link on the Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Minute, and I loved this because it fits my Jason perfectly. I copied it for him, so he could take it to work and hopefully remember all the time how much I appreciate him and all the things he does for us.
My children are very blessed to have a wonderful father who loves me and loves them and wants to spend time with us!
In honor of our Daddy and all daddies everywhere:
Only A Dad
Edgar Guest
Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only a dad but he gives his all,
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
