Title: Tribute Poem to John and his dad for Father's Day
Post by: sheilafarmer on June 16, 2012, 10:40:41 pm
I found two Great Poems that I tribute to John and his dad and fans as well.



What Is A Dad?
A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He’s someone who listens, suggests, and defends -
A dad can be one of your very best friends!
He’s proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do, a Dad’s love plays a part -
There’s always a place for him deep in your heart.
And each year that passes, you’re even more glad,
more grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it … Dad
