Dad

I didn’t buy you flowers, no candy or a card.
Picking out a gift for you, is really very hard.
What gift would say what I feel, about just who you are?
You worked two jobs to feed us, you let me wreck the car.
You picked our mom, made a home, for all of that, “Thank you.”
I hope, I have made you proud, I hope regrets are few.
There is one thing you should know, I haven’t told you yet.
It seems the older I become, the more like you I get.
Happy Father’s Day, to you, just one more thing I'll say.
Love you Dad, but not enough, to wear my hair that way.

WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY
SAID A LITTLE BOY ONE DAY
I'M FOLLOWING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS,
AND I WANT TO KNOW THE WAY
SOMETIMES YOUR STEPS ARE VERY PLAIN
AND SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE.
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY,
FOR YOU ARE LEADING ME.
I KNOW THAT ONCE YOU WALKED
THIS WAY, MANY YEARS AGO,
AND WHAT YOU DID ALONG THE WAY
I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW.
FOR SOMETIMES I AM TEMPTED
AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY,
FOR I MUST FOLLOW YOU
SOMETIME WHEN I AM ALL GROWN UP
YOU ARE LIKE I WANT TO BE
THEN I WILL KNOW A LITTLE BOY,
WHO WILL WANT TO FOLLOW ME.
AND I WOULD WANT TO LEAD HIM RIGHT,
AND HELP HIM TO BE TRUE.
SO WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, DADDY
FOR WE MUST FOLLOW YOU

Thank you for sending us the picture of you and your Dad.

Thank you for writing and sharing your Father's Day poem with us. The picture of the two of you made the poem special.

Thank you again.

I gave Dad a copy of this Fri night. I think it got to him.
