To watch my grandkids bloom and grow
Requires fathers who do sow
The seeds of wonder and delight
Tending, tilling, giving insight
Fathers who are often tired
Yet who can teach and inspire
Little minds who never rest
Always making new requests
Being loving, being there
Showing that a dad does care
I see my son in this demanding role
And son-in-law too, loyal souls
They provide fertile ground
For their children to grow up sound
Helping kids to choose well
Hoping that they turn out swell
At times it can seem an endless test
Yet what they do for their children best
Is remembering through their busy lives
To show the kids they love their wives
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO JOE AND DAVID!

Awwwwwwwwwww. I'll bet they both loved that poem.
P.S. Thanks for those wonderful quotes. Of course, yours was the loveliest.
thanks, MIL!
sorry to hijack your blog but...
This was the only way I knew to get in tough with you. You're e-mail isn't working. Each time I send you something I get this message:
"Persistent Transient Failure: Delivery time expired"
P.S. - great looking pair of Dads!!
Bossy's husband likes to garden with their children too. He teaches them to dig and water and curse. So sweet.
Ah, yes, the joys of gardening ... see my next entry!
