My lovely wife gave me a Father's Day card this morning <br />Because she knows our daughter will probably forget Dad <br />....unless she needs some money for gas <br />The card was hand made with a picture on the front <br />Of my wife and me sharing a huge hug at my office desk <br />She was sitting on my lap with her arms around my neck <br />Her luscious lips puckered to deliver a package of Love <br />A Kodak moment to be sure...but only one of many more.... <br />When I opened the card there before my tired eyes <br />Was a picture of my beautiful daughter at the tender age of ten <br />(seems like only yesterday she was twenty) <br />And me sitting cross legged on the floor next to my precious <br />We were both loading up our tackle boxes <br />Mr. Wiffle fishing lures spread out all over the place <br />Her little laugh I can still recall..... <br />Laughing and so happy to be going fishing were we <br />Picking out the various colors of lures we would need <br />To catch that moment in time....only to be released all too soon <br />To suit any Dad who loves their child the way that I love mine <br />The hand written note inside the card <br />Told me of my wife's endless love for me <br />And what a great father and a wonderful husband I have been <br />All these many years.... <br />Because when you've been married as long as we have <br />There are no grounds for divorce......only Homicide<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-necktie-or-a-noose-for-father-s-day/
