His Usual Self - A Father's Day Poem

His Usual Self

He heals me,

But he is not a doctor.

He protects me,

But he is not an officer of the law.

He makes me laugh,

But he is not a comedian.

He loves me,

And he is my father.

I was having kind of a rough week and have feeling rather down lately.
I figured that with Father’s Day coming up, I can create something incredibly small to give myself a much needed boost in enthusiasm.

I’m not really sure why I felt the need to post this, but here it is anyway.

Maybe you guys can stick it in a card, or print it out and give it to your dad, step-dad, granddad, etc as part of a Father’s Day gift.

Enjoy using it, just credit me (no seriously I literally want a picture in this thread of the card this is in with a “Credits” section… or maybe not; just respect the property all right; don’t sell it or anything like that).

Happy Early Father’s Day to all your fathers/grandfathers/step-fathers out there!

This is pretty neat man!

Thanks, 94!

At least something came out of my blocked mind.

Happy Father’s Day to you and/or your family.

It was a great fathers day for my family! :slight_smile:
We actually all had a pretty good day! Nothing weird happend!

Nice!

I’m happy you and your family had a good day!

Hi, Father’s day was over but here’s a poem that you might want to give to your dad on other occasion. - Its entitled

" A Father Like You"
by Anonymous

I just want you to know
you mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
would give so unselfishly.

The many things you’ve done,
all the times that you were there,
Helps me know deep down inside
how much you really care.

Even though I might not say it,
I appreciate all you do
So richly blessed is how I feel
for having a father just like you.

I don’t need it to be Father’s Day to give my Dad something, so it’s fine.

Where did you find that?

It’s actually really beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

P.S. I see you just recently joined the forums. Welcome! Enjoy your stay.
