Fathers Day

Today we honor the men in our lives
that know that there is more to being a father
then just a biological tie

It is unconditional love
it is strength, gentleness,compassion
it is the willingness to teach and to learn
to be a friend and mentor

It is having a gentle heart
yet powerful soul
understanding the importance of tenderness
of respect and honor

It is knowing when someone calls you "Dad"
it is a blessing , never a burden
it is a gift to win the heart of a child
it is an eternal circle
the heart within the man
the heart within the child
no matter the age nor circumstance

Today we honor the men in our lives
who stand proud and strong
and whom we cherish for their constant presence
making our lives so much richer
Happy Fathers Day to all of you.
