Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads, Stepdads, Grandads and Dads-to-be. I hope you are having a fabulous day and that you are adored, cherished, loved, hugged and kissed by all the people who surround you – and even those who are farther away and can’t be near you on this day. And to my Dad (pictured here) on this Father’s Day, I love you so much, and this poem, “What Makes a Dad” (Author Unknown), is in honor of you….

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it … Dad
