Happy Fathers Day...

You are so important :)



You're making your way through this mean, old world
Riding on an ocean of grief
But the sun and the sky shine in your eyes
Lighting a way home

I'm going away, three weeks and a day
Please be good while I'm gone
And I'll do my best and I'll try to get some rest
And I'll hold you in my arms with a song

Goodnight my precious darling
Sleep tight, hold fast to your dreams
When the moon and the stars shine from afar
Know that I'm shining for you

Now we have a life not perfectly bright
Darkness and trials abound
Bold hold to my hand and we'll make our stand
There's nothing like coming home with you


(a song written by a new father, for his son)

An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band...


My brother's lives were different for they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St Paul
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose and come to know so well

I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band

Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.

Got pictures of your fathers? Or, you as a father? Feel free to share if you like :)
 
I would just like to send a shout out to Bruce Caitlyn Jenner. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
