God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

I will never, never underestimate the importance of "Dads" in a child's life. Sad thing is, the one thing I have a hard time with, is really understanding what my children go through not having their Dad consistantly in their lives. You see, I have a father that visits me each morning with a fresh cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee! Though I benefit greatly, I know he is motivated out of love for his grandchildren and I. He loves to spend time with us.
