They
once said you were.....
"Nothin'
but a hound dog",
But
I always said......
"He
may not be perfect..... but he's MY Dad...
And
I Love Him!!!!!"
Soooooo.....................
After
we listen to this little "song"....
I'm
gonna tell ya ALL about how much I love MY Dad!!*G*
Happy
Birthday to YOU....
Happy
Birthday to YOU....
Happy
Birthday Dear Dad...
Happy
Birthday to YOU!!!!!
In
Case You Ever Wondered....
In
case you ever wondered,
If
I was "Daddy's Little Girl",
Or
haven't yet discovered,
He's
most important in My World,
Then
stop and have a listen,
To
what I've got to say.....
And
while you're gettin' comfy,
Wish
him a "Happy Birthday"!
My
Dad is an exceptional man,
In
many, many ways,
To
list all of his "Qualities",
Would
simply take me days!
He
always wore so many "Hats",
A
definate "Jack of All Trades"!
But
he was never too busy,
To
ensure I got good grades!
Yes
Dad, I remember....
Doing
my times tables EVERY night!
And
the pride I felt when I went to school,
And
solved every problem right!
I
remember how you helped me,
When
my motor wouldn't turn.
And
the coaching that you gave me,
On
how to save what I had earned.
I
remember how you teased me,
About
that certain, "special guy"!
And
how you Accidently gave me,
The
"I'm NOT Ticklish" Black Eye!
And
then, there are the stories,
That
I love to hear you tell....
Of
the things I did, and words I said,
Before
I could even spell!
And
the Movies that you took,
Did
I REALLY do all THAT?!!
And
when will I convince the World,
An
"Only Child" Doesn't = A "Spoiled Brat"!
I
know the day Mom brought me home,
And
introduced Me to YOU,
Was
the most special day of both our lives,
For
together, our dreams came true!
You
got the Child you had always wanted,
And
I got the Father I deserved!
And
somewhere, lost in that incredible smile,
I
became the "Luckiest Girl On Earth"!!!
I'm
not sure I ever told you,
But
I'm sure you know it's true....
Though
"Adopted" means, Not "Flesh and Blood",
In
ME, Everyone sees YOU!
And
though we both have our faults,
Again,
we know that's true!!
But
the highest compliments I've ever received,
Were
when I was being compared to YOU!
And
I know I don't always say it,
But
never forget how much I care!
I
know where to look, when I really need you,
Because
I know, if I need you, You Are There!
It's
the look you had the very day,
When
you walked me down the aisle.....
As
if to say... "If you fall, I'll catch you,"
With
a reassuring smile.
And
when I faltered, YOU were there....
Though
I chose to stand alone
I
thank you for all you've done for me....
Especially
respecting the fact that I am "grown"!
And
when it was time to start anew,
Your
support meant everything to me!
And
I realized, though I am "grown",
"Daddy's
Little Girl", I'll always be!
Again
Dad, I must thank you....
For
influencing me in so many ways!
And
teaching me the values,
That
make me who I am today!
I
Love YOU more than most anything,
Even
Fishing and Grandma's Apple Pie!
*Wink*....
So you know you must be important.....
'Cause
aren't those the Greatest things in Life?!!
KAW
I
LOVE YOU DAD!!!!!
Happy
Birthday!!!!!
