Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Every day the whole year through,
I feel grateful you are my father.
Some fathers don't have time for their kids,
But for you I'm never a bother.

You always make the effort to listen and share;
You're always there when you're needed.
It warms me to know how much you care,
And with that knowledge my worries are defeated

Dad, you are truly admired and adored,
And as your daughter, I hope that you know,
These sentiments fill me each day of the year,
And my love for you continues to grow.

I love this poem!!!! It shares everything that I feel towards you Dad. I love you and I hope that your day is filled with Joy. Have a great birthday!! I know you will have a fun filled day tomorrow with Shirley and her kids - you have been a wonderful step-dad and popsie to all her kids......never treating them differently or like they weren't yours - that says alot about your character! They know that you haven't tried to take their fathers place - you just offered yourself to them for who you are........

We are looking forward to spending time with you and Shirley on Saturday.......we love you bunches!!!
