With Father’s Day fast approaching I naturally think of how a girl needs her dad. I had a great dad. As I think of my Dad, I realize now how incredibly lucky I was, and I was blessed. My dad was a teacher. He loved his job and saw it as his mission in life was to help young people find their way in what ever way he possible. He did his job well.
My dad has been gone for some time now. I miss not looking for a Father’s Day card and gift for my dad. His legacy and giftto me were the great memories and lessons I now share with you in my stories.
In honor of my Dad, Father’s Day and all the other great dads out there, I have created a poem.
A Girl Needs Her Dad
by Susan Cooper
A girl needs her dad,
For so many reasons;
To hold her hand when things feel scary,
He listens to her when she needs more than just a friend.
To tell her everything will be all right.
To hold her when a nightmare scares her.
As time passes, he is her safe haven.
He lends his ear to hear her joys and sorrows.
He shows her how to come home.
When all else seems to fall apart.
When he is gone, he whispers in her ear
She hears him,
He reminds her he will always there.
Diving deep with every sorrow
Or soaring high in great joy.
With every step in her life.
A girl needs her dad,
And he will always be there.
If you are lucky enough the have a great dad. Give him the gift of your time. Let him know what he means to you. As for me I now wish my dad a very Happy Father’s Day. I miss you so…
Life’s journey continues…
