Just For Fun

Dear Dad,

A poem from a daughter to her Dad
In a time of much needed humor relief
To the blog, this poem I will add.

I know that right now your brain is a little bit hurt
But soon you will be back up and about
Of course without your shirt.

There is a man you should know has kept everything on track
What a great friend and doctor
Many thanks go to you Deepak!!!

Don’t worry Dad, your eyebrows are still there
Although you have had several offers
To groom them with care.

All of us have been trying to do
What we think you would want
You really do have a wonderful crew.

We tried to get the nurses right from the start
To hook you up to a glass
Of Pepsi and Lemonhart.

The Foothills has provided such a wonderful team
That soon you will be up
Eating Maple Walnut ice cream!

Through this whole time you really have been so brave
You even let Uncle Richard
Give you a shave!

Dad, you really do need to go and get back to the Lake
Because soon from the city
You and Sheila will need a break.

All of us kids need your help and advice
For our household projects
No one else will suffice!

Also there are four small people that really need you back
Your cute little grandkids
Daniel, Catarina, Declan, and Jack.

We are all behind you and what more can I say here
Other than we love you and will help you get through
This most challenging year!

I know you can do it and all of your hard work will be worthwhile
When in the summer
We take our trip down the aisle.

Dad, I really do love you so much
And with this poem I hope
Your heart I did touch!

Love Stacy

  3. What a great poem Stacy. Your dad will be so proud when he hears it. I think you should frame it for him. I think your a budding new writer!! -- Know that the bond between parents and children is the strongest on earth. Remember when Daniel was born and you said to me "I never knew the power and the instant love you feel" Well that is how your dad felt the day you were born and that will never break. He knows you are there for him and he would be proud of both you and Darren. Remember, Gord is a "when things get tough the tough get going" kind of Dad. Know we are always here for you and all you have to do is ask. Always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
