My Good ole Dad

As you guys ought to know, today is Father's Day. So far it's been a really great day. My dad really loved the cards that my siblings and I wrote for him. That's great, because this year I was particularly proud of the poem I wrote for the inside note. I don't think he'll mind if I post it here, for you to judge. I combined the words of this poem and this other poem I found online for inspiration, but I turned it into totally my own thing.

MY GOOD OLE DAD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My father Benny (that's his name) is the best.

He is better than all the rest,

Combined.

Funny and kind,

With a very sharp mind.

I love him very dearly.

I say so quite sincerely,

I do.

Benny, I love you,

Like the sky and oceans are

Blue.

I can never be blue,

So long as I have you.

^,^ My good ole dad. ^,^

Full of laughter and smiles,

Happiness and piles

Of good times.

For listening and caring,

For loving and sharing,

I thank god every day

That you're mine.

^_^

My good ole dad.
