What Father's are made of

A father is a person that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic.

A father is a person that growls when he feels good, and laughs out loud when he is scared half to death.

A father never feels worthy of the worship in a child's eyes, He's never quite the hero his daughter believes him to be, and this worries him.

So he works too hard to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him.

A father, is a person who gets angry when the first school grades aren't as good as they should be.
He scolds his son, though he knows it's the teachers fault.

A Father is a person that gives daughters away to men who aren't nearly good enough so they can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody's.

Fathers make bets with insurance companies about who'll live the longest. One day they lose and the bet's paid off to the part of them they leave behind.

I may not know where a father goes when they die. But I've and idea~~that after a good rest~~he won't just sit on a cloud and wait for the girl he loved and the children she bore. He'll be busy there too,
repairing stairs,
oiling gates,
improving the streets smoothing the way.


Happy Father's Day Daddy
