My Hero is the quiet type, no marching bands, no media hype, but through my eyes it’s plain to see, a hero, God has sent to me. With gentle strength and quiet pride, all self concern is set aside, to reach out to our fellow man, and be there with a helping hand. Heroes are […]

Be more than his dad, Be a chum to the lad; Be a part of his life Every hour of the day; Find time to talk with him, Take time to walk with him, Share in his studies And share in his play. Take him to places, To ball games and races, Teach him the […]

those little needles on cheeks; your kisses, daddy, are a fond memory i always turn to for solace. i love your moustache; they make you so distinctive. and your pipe, it makes you so much like my intellectual hero, Albert Einstein. i am always fasincated by the smoke swirling into the air as you write […]

How lucky to have had so good a father! On us his warm, unstinting sun long shone. We were, of his hardworking life, the center, Loved for the pure joy of love alone.

No love of childhood is more sublime, Demanding little, giving on demand, Far more inclined than most to grant the wings Allowing us to reach enchanted lands. Though grandfathers must serve as […]

When I was: 4 years old: My daddy can do anything. 5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot. 6 years old: My dad is smarter than your dad. 8 years old: My dad doesn’t know exactly everything. 10 years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different. […]
