poem for dad written on his birthday......


Wish you a warm birthday in cold antaritica....may you achieve all heights of universe as you always do...
"Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again"
Instead of counting candles, Or tallying the years, Contemplate your blessings, As your birthday nears.
Consider special people Who love you, and who care, And others who’ve enriched your life Just by being there.
Think about the memories Passing years can never mar, Experiences great and small That have made you who you are.
Another year is a happy gift, So cut your cake, and say, "Instead of counting birthdays, I count blessings every day!"
Ever since my life began, I realized that "You da man!" I saw your wisdom, your courage too, And I learned I could rely on you.
Your tolerant nature was really great; Nevertheless, you'd not hesitate To let me know when I'd been bad; It must have been hard, but that's being a dad.
You're strong and smart and filled with love-- A gift to me from up above, So here's a greeting from your biggest fan: Happy Birthday, Dad, 'cause "You da man!"
Of all the men in the whole wide world, Whose praises are sung out loud, There is no man whom I respect more, Or of whom I am more proud.
Throughout the years, you’ve worked so hard To provide us a happy life; You’ve been there to help and give advice, And you did it all without strife.
I am so blessed to be under your wing, your protection, your care, learning important life lessons from you. If all fathers were like you, the world would be a very different and much better place. If all fathers were like you, the world would be a very different and much better place. That is why on this day each year, I pray all your wishes come true; Today we celebrate your life,
So Dad, Happy Birthday to you
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years
