Fathers are just WONDERFUL

I dedicate this poem to the two men in my life:

My super daddy who raised me up in the way of the Lord.

My super hubby, the best dad for Bionic.  

Happy Father's day!!!

Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...

For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills...

And Father struggles daily
To live up to "HIS IMAGE"
As protector and provider
And "hero or the scrimmage"...

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,

But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be...

But he's so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife...

But Fathers are just WONDERFUL
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolade of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness...

And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.

My Super Dad's day!!!- Thankful Post

Today is my daddy's birthday! Woo hoo!

In 2009, the devil tried some dirty tricks; he tried to steal my daddy away. Armed robbers shot my daddy in broad light! The full gist can be found here. Any time I remember that day, I just give all praise to God for his protection and faithfulness. I remember when I saw my dad the following year, he could laugh about the event while giving me the gist.

My dad is a strong man. He loves life, he loves his family and most importantly he loves God. He has sacrificed a lot, he works hard and he has his priorities placed appropriately. He has achieved a lot in his life- career, marriage, family- children, grandchildren, extended family, business, you name it. All by God's grace.

I used to quarrel/argue a lot with my dad as a teenager till I realised he wasn't out to get me, but he actually did love me and wanted the best for me. Now as a parent I am beginning to see a lot of things from their (dad & mum) perspective.

Daddy can be very dramatic sometimes, oh yes...and I have been told by some I inherited this "drama-ness" from him. Oh well! :D

I can go on and on about my super dad but I just want to thank God for my daddy's live, for watching over him. I pray he will live long to eat the fruit of his labour.

Love you Popc!!!!!!!!
