Happy Father's Day
I don't remember my father
Ever saying "I love you"
I don't remember my father
Ever holding me or
Showing me any affection.
My father was not 'Father Knows Best'
My father was not ' Andy Griffith'
My father was not 'Make Room For Daddy'.
But as I've grown older
I find that what he was is
A lot more important than what
He wasn't.
He put food on the table
He put clothes on my back
He taught me to love music...........All music
He taught me to love animals.
All those things make me who I am
And you know.....That's not such a bad thing.
