HAPPY FATHERS DAY HONEY

With shoulders strong & a back so straight-that half stick of gum sealed his fate(inside joke).

With quiet commitment & marriage vows, he led his family from then till now.

His quest to provide for his children & bride.

He poured out his life w/blood sweat & tears, glancing over his shoulder to make sure we were near.

He leaned his shoulder into the task, to be our provider/protector-keeping us w/in his clasp.

The moves, ah so many-15 at last tally! we moaned & we groaned but around him did rally.

Mistakes-he made them, as we all do, but always learned lessons to carry him thru.

If you need him, he will be there to help you, to hold you, to show you he cares.

He did not stagger, he did not fall. the load got heavy but he stood thru it all because his house was built on a foundational rock-always underneath was the solid rock.

His viking heiritage in in his Dna- wanderlust in his blood w/new vistas to see on his way.

He can take the path less traveled, not afraid to stand alone. He always told me he would get me home.

He has a wealth of knowledge that he retains, wisdom & insight flow from his brain.

A tight ship did he run, Cap'n Ahab to some, but along w/the instructions came the fun.

His body, now worn, his hands also. the knees once so strong don't carry him for long.

God has blessed his life w/children & grands-His children, like strong pillars around him they stand holding up their father w/their supporting hands.

So here's to you

My husband, my friend

My partner to the end.
