Leann Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi, everybody:Today is my Dad's birthday; he would have been 76 years old. A friend of mine gave me a throw the other day with a beautiful verse on it called "What Makes a Dad." I have looked for the author, but have been unable to find it as of yet. Perhaps somebody might recognize this piece and let me know; I am grateful for the comforting words. I offer it now in hopes that others may find it as comforting as I did.Hugs,Leann"What Makes A Dad"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 eagles' 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 complete,And so He called it Dad. *Author: unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
