Happy Birthday, Dad!

Its Dad's birthday. I remember the times when I was home...and it was Dad's Birthday......Dad would always plan the menu for the day. He loves to eat.....not that he ever has much.....he loves a good meal. I gave a call in the morning to wish him. This time...he sounded surprised. Had he forgotten that today was his birthday? Time....age..........how I wish sometimes, I could just stop it for a while...

Here's a poem by Regina Hill which I really liked. To you, Dad.

Dad, If I Had Three Wishes
on Your Birthday...
I'd make a wish for
your health and happiness
and your dreams coming true.
I'd wish that you would be given
whatever your heart desires.
And after I was sure that
all of these wishes
were fulfilled,
I'd make one more wish for you -
the most important one of all...

I'd wish that you'd know
beyond any doubt
that I love you with all my heart,
and I'll always be here for you
no matter what.
- Poem by Regina Hill
