There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!

It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.
There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.
Dad, you’re someone to look up to no matter how tall I’ve grown.
Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters.
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.
Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass”, “We’re not raising grass,”.
Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys”.

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Wishing you a day as special as you are… Happy Birthday.
