You've always been there to help me, with any project-
Even when you were tired, or other things should have come first-
never has my plea been rejected,regardless of the time of day or night,
or you, by the customer was expected.
You always had a way of looking at things to shift my point of view,
or to salvage the mess I had turned it into-
and changed it into something wonderful-
a thing my peers respected.
And it didn't matter if it was a model ship or plane, or a volcano for the science fair-
or how awful it was when you arrived-
you'd roll up your sleeves, and loosen your tie,and sweat over it
as we worked shoulder to shoulder,
and with gentle instruction you explained, as we went along,
so I could do it myself,when I was older.
You taught me so much, with your big strong hands and nimble fingers,
I grew to believe that you could do anything,
as the years went by, the knowledge you imparted made me bolder-
And tho challenges were many, you've never backed away-
But laughed, a Little baffled, then brought your skills to bear,
Stroked my hair,and eventually, thought of a solution.
So Dad, on this your special day, I just want you to know,
you can relax and take it easy,
now that I am grown.
There won't be anymore projects you have to bail me out of...
at least, for a day or two!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
OUI?
