Before I was myself you made me, me

With love and patience, discipline and tears,

Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

 

Allowing me to sail upon my sea,

Though well within the headlands of your fears.

Before I was myself you made me, me

 

With dreams enough of what I was to be

And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,

Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

 

Relinquishing your powers gradually

To let me shape myself among my peers.

Before I was myself you made me, me,

 

And being good and wise, you gracefully

As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears

Bit by bit stepped back to set me free. For love inspires learning naturally:

The mind assents to what the heart reveres.

And so it was through love you made me, me

By slowly stepping back to set me free.

 

 

Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,

Restoring the sense that our most precious things

Are those that do not change much over time.

No love of childhood is more sublime,

Demanding little, giving on demand,

Far more inclined than most to grant the wings

Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.

Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,

Helping out with young and restless hearts,

Each has all the patience wisdom brings,

Remembering our passions more than others,

Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

 

i found these and wanted to share them will all!

i hope everyone has a wonderful father's day!!
