Fathers are the house that protect us.
They are the foundation that we stand on.
They are the roof that covers us.
They are the walls that protect us.
They are the heater that keeps out the cold.
They are the air conditioner that
cools us when we get too hot.
They are the windows to help us see what is possible.
They are the support beams that facilitate our dreams.
They are the kitchen that fills us up.
They are the garage that teaches us to build things,
be creative and confident enough to put our mark on them.
They are the vehicle that takes us as far as life will carry us.
And on the occasion when life treats us roughly, they are
the porch light that shows us where home is,
greeting us with
warmth and an open door.
Thank you Dads, wherever you are around the world;
we, your children, honor you out loud today and
every day in our hearts.
And personally.....
For my Yo Papa, Jerry Stepp
The man who believes in my dreams
Who believes in me,
With Love
