Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Memories of my dad

He wasn't a hero,
Known by the world.
But a hero he was,
To his little girl.

My daddy was great,
Who knew all things.
And better than Santa,
With the gifts he'd bring.

I knew his voice,
Before I could speak.
And loved it when,
He would sing me to sleep.
He changed my diapers,
And sat up all night.
When my body was weak
And I'd put up a fight.

He'd come home late,
With not much to say.
And made us all kneel,
As he taught me to pray.
He taught me life's lessons,
Of right from wrong.
And instilled in me values,
That I might be strong.

And so through the years,
Like a hero he stood.
Working to give,
All that he could.
His presence was important,
And I loved to see him smile.
For no one in the world,
Could emulate his style.

And so dear Dad,
My best memory to recall.
Is the gift of your love,
The greatest gift of all.

I hope all who reads, watches, and listens will get a little glimps of what my Dad was like. The greatest Dad who ever lived.
