Last Chance
You walked out on us
And never said goodbye
In fifteen years you haven't called
Not even to say Hi
It tears me up inside
To feel like I’m alone
You've never been a part of my life
And now I’m almost grown
Why couldn’t you just call
Or maybe send a card
If you couldn’t afford either of those
A letter’s not that hard
So many things have happened
That you haven’t been there to see
You've missed out on so much
You've missed out on me
So I’m giving you a second chance
To step up and be a dad
But this one is your last one
So take it and be glad

A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there.

Happy Father's Day
A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Father's Day

HANK YOU
Dear dad,
On this special day
I'd just like you to know,
Thank you for all the ways
You taught me to grow.
Thank you for your descipline
It's helped me to be strong
In making life decisions
All the day long.
Thank you for your humor,
It's put a smile on my face.
It's helped me impart laughter
In many a needed place.
Thank you for your tenacity
it's helped me stay focused
On what is right, and what is wrong
And avoiding lots of jokers.
Thank you for your Love.
In doses big and small
It's carried me throughout the years
And it's made me,
Oh so tall.
~D. Alsup
