"I came into his life
he paved for me the way
taught me to swing a club
when to fight or walk away

He suddenly died
bowed my head, to dedicate his grave
as I blessed that hallowed ground
in my mind, I heard the sound
"Son, take care of them, especially Mom"

He wasn't there when I received
my college degree
but when I cried alone
in my cap and gown
I felt him there, on the floor
like many times before

When I kneeled at the alter
to take my wedding vows
he wasn't there
to see my bride
but I saw him there
in the mirror -
smiling by my side

When my son was born
he wasn't there, to hold him in his arms
but when my child fell asleep
there he was standing guard
keeping him from harm

When I watch my daughter
play in her match
He's not there to cheer her on
But when we stop, to celebrate, grab a lil' treat
I always sense him next to her
singing in the back seat

When I'm playing golf
with my own two boys
he's not there to tee it up
but our little th*****me
always feels like it has a fourth

On birthdays his big laugh
I often miss the most
but his spirit is always there
some call it a ghost

There's times he comes to me
as I dream in the night
to smile, show me the way
in this challenge we call life

He's always been, always be
in my corner to coach me up
its my duty to honor him
and pass his legacy on

For our bond is stronger
than this thing we call death
my dad didn't stop loving me
when he took his last breath

Familes are forever
the message rings true
especially on this Fathers Day
I know dad, I love you too." ©

Happy Birthday to my Dad, who would have been 79 years old today!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt
