Ode to Dads, Daddies, Papás, and Fathers

6/17/2016

1 Comment

 
Here is to you fathers,
to you daddies, and dads,
​pas and papás
and to this day you have.

Here is to you,
piggy-back giver
tickle-war maker
more daring than mom
​(more funny too).
​You take kids on horse rides
(and sometimes the zoo).

Here is to you
​who is home less than mom
but who loves your kids
even when you are gone.

​You put in those hours
because you're unwilling to lose
you get tired and weary
​yet its this life you choose.

Here's to a man
who loves kisses and hugs
and holds little fingers
​and helps them chase bugs.
​He is firm, he is strong
​and always so tough
​His hands are so gentle
​even though they are rough.

How much you are needed
​will never be measured
​for the things you teach
are certainly treasured
like rough-housing, batman,
football, and roping,
ball caps and Starwars,
​and long rifle scoping.

On this one day
we celebrate you
​But it is never enough
for all that you do.
​May you never wonder
how much you are loved
God gave us you,
​our gift from above.

    Hello! Thank you for stopping by and peeking in on our life’s adventures. My name is Lora and I love sharing my fascination with discovering all the ways God has made my life beautiful. My handsome husband and I farm, ranch, and find our way as parents of two gorgeous girls including one with multiple-disabilities. Perhaps part of our journey will touch yours and encourage you today. You are welcome here, my friend.
