Happy Father’s Day

I am fortunate to have three special Dad’s in my life right now…… my dad, my father-in-law, and last, but not least, my wonderful husband……

Father's Day

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad
~~Author Unknown.~~

Happy Father’s Day!

    What a sweet post and a lovely poem. Our Father's Day is low key this year because everyone is sick. We'll celebrate later.
