You can do it by making a long overdue phone call, <br />Or by sending a card, or maybe just dropping by. <br /> <br />You can do it through a word of appreciation for <br />The sacrifices he has made to take care of you. <br /> <br />You can do it maybe with a small gift, although he’s <br />Not really into those things very much. <br /> <br />You can do it by taking a little walk with him, <br />While you thank him for being there for you. <br /> <br />You can and should do it, not because he’s perfect, <br />But because he is your father and God wants you to. <br /> <br />It’s your chance of turning the tide, not because you <br />Feel like it, or want to, but because it’s the right thing. <br /> <br />He’s not perfect, but he is your dad. <br />He’s not always right, but he is your dad. <br />He may even have hurt you, but he is your dad. <br />He may at times have let you down, but he is your dad. <br /> <br />God instructs us to honor him, <br />So even in the smallest way, <br />Take time to show him love; <br />Make this a happy Father’s Day! <br /> <br /> <br />“Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20: 12) .<br /><br />Loyd C.
