DAD PAID THE COST

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

A Father is quite many things
that make us of him proud....
a tower of strength that stayed erect,
and succumbed to no stormy cloud.....
a judge and jury, all in one
deciding for our best, 
and giving justice to us all
to this we can attest.

So, Dad we are grateful for you, 
on this and every day,
We give you thanks for all the things
in life that's come our way.
For without your guidance and your toil
we surely would be lost.
We love the things of which we are,
But, Dad, you paid the cost!

Reason for writing:

    I loved my Dad very much....He passed on in l990....I think Dads are passed over when it comes to giving them credit....too much on Mothers and not enough on Daddys....I think they should be equal.....for without both, we would not exist....

Please e-mail me, if you like my work...thanks !
