Pauline, I am so happy for you, it must have been a great feeling! Here is a poem I wrote for my Dad and has been used by many others for Fathers Day - God Bless
A Special Man
There is a man of compassion, who is part of my very soul
With his understanding, he has made my life more whole
I need this man's love, to make my life complete
For any person to do this, I would say this is quite the feat
He has been in my heart, since the day I was born
And I know his patience, I have very much worn
He has been there for me, no-matter which way I would turn,
and throughout my life, he has helped me to learn
This man has been there, through the good times and bad
and I'm proud to say, that this guy is my Dad
He is my Father, the person that fills my heart
And the only thing that really hurts, is that someday we will be torn apart
But as the days pass, and they go by one by one
My Father will always know, that he has a loving son.
