| A Fireman' Son |
| MY DAD'S A FIREMAN , and proud am I. indeed, For he is someone special, whose wisdom I still need. Dad and I are buddies and, to me , that means a lot. A bond to last forever,with love that forms a knot. He took me to parades, when other kids stayed home, And he taught me how to play baseball, on a field without a dome. He showed me how to fix things, even let us use his tools, What I learned from Dad~ they don't teach in schools. The examples that he set, I follow everyday. Placing God and Country first, in showing me the way. Precious are those years, now tucked away with time, Tenderly remembered: I, as the leaf ~ he, as the vine. Dad, hear me as I say ! " I Love You" man-to-man. And, I'm proud to tell the world, MY DAD'S A FIREMAN. Author Unknown |
