FATHER

The first deep voice 
That we heard 
The one 
Who could 
Stop us in our tracks 
With just one word 
The one 
That we would run to
When mom did not understand 
The one
Who protected and guided
With just the touch of his hand
The one
Who rocked us on his knees 
The one
Who shares his advice
Who inspires us 
To grab for our
Dreams in life 
The one 
Who keeps us safe 
From all evil things 
The one
Who shows by example 
What it is to be a man
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

FOUND LOVE

If you never
Give up hope
Or lose faith
If you treasure
Warm memories together
In a sacred special place.
If you never
Ever doubt
The power of romance
If you are willing
To step forward
To take a risk
Or take a chance.
If you never
Put your dreams
On a shelf
If you have been
Blessed in life to find
Someone of like heart
And of like mind
Then know
YOU HAVE FOUND LOVE!
