A Few Good Men

 

Compliments

by Ron Tranmer

I've been told that I am thoughtful,

that my feet are on the ground.

Some say that I am likeable

and fun to be around.

It's been said that to my principles

I stand firm and true.

That I'm dependable and honest

in the things I say and do.

But the single greatest compliment

that I have ever had,

Is when somebody told me,

"You remind me of your dad."

Thank You Dad

Thank you for the laughter,

For the good times that we share,

Thanks for always listening,

For trying to be fair.

Thank you for your comfort,

When things are going bad,

Thank you for the shoulder,

To cry on when I'm sad.

This poem is a reminder that

All my life through,

I'll be thanking Heaven

For a special Dad like you.

Fathers are very special people. Not to knock mothers, but they seem to get more of the focus. Fathers are often quiet and in the background, but always there when we need them. I hope we all take the opportunity today to let them know how much we care. For those whose fathers have passed on, I hope you have a happy memory to reflect on. 

And let's not forget the other good men in our lives. Brothers, uncles, grandfathers, friends, and other father figures. It doesn't require a blood connection to have a special place in someone's life. I've met a lot of great men through TTWD who I have a lot of respect for. I hope everyone's feeling the love today and knows how much they are appreciated.

Happy Father's Day!
