Dedicated To My Dad
On Father's Day 1999.
A  father is someone who
can never be thanked enough
 
or shown enough appreciation 
for all that he does.
 
Yet I've spent so little time
 
doing those very things.
 
My gratitude for you, Dad,
 
is always right inside my heart,
 
for I do know that I have
 
the world's best father.
 
I just don't seem to bring
 
my gratitude out into the open
 
often enough for you to see.
 
I guess I've always expected you to
 
just know the way I feel about you.
 
But maybe I've taken something
 
for granted --
 
maybe I assume you know
 
that every time
 
I say, "I love you, Dad,"
 
I'm also saying "Thank you"
 
from my heart.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD
To all the children out there, young and old,
 
give your Dad a hug and tell him how
 special he 
is and how much you love him!
