Love you Dad, and thank you for all that you did.

Dad is not the kind who talks

way too much about emotions.

But I remember the long walks

which set our relationship in motion.

Not to often would he have the time

to spend a whole day with me.

Yet we got along just fine

everytime Mom asked us to make tea.

He would be Big Chef

and boy would we

 have fun playing as

we made the tea.

Some times the chore was bigger

at times it could be dinner.

Then rounded off with pudding

Banana based no less.

He has always given

excellent advice when asked

and never given it

when unsolicitated.

Although I know he cares deeply

he never lets it show.

In his generation the men

were trained to be so.

It is not something I say often

but I hope you know its true.

There is no other Dad in the whole wide world

as great a Dad as You!

I love you Dad, very dearly and care for you a lot. Take care of your health.

    Hi every one, thanks for all the comments.
    I sent it to my dad.
    He called to say he read it, and then refused to say any more.
    Sigh…fathers!

    This is a very sweet poem! I wasn’t blessed to be raised with a dad and once I had a step dad he had a stroke and it was hard to communicate with him. But I’m sure if I had of had a dad, this poem would be one that I would give him.
