Happy Father's Day 2015

To all fathers out there--my son, my son-in-law, my brother, my uncles, my cousins....


Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...
But Fathers are just wonderul
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them Happiness...
And like our Heavenly father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always on our side.

Happy Father's Day!
