A Tribute ToYou,
Dad
Dad, now that you arc seven
ty-three, be filled with hope
and cheer...Life can take on
beautiful meaning and vaniah
many a fear...Youth is not
entirely a time of life, but also
a stale of mind...If you think
through slowly I'm sure yea
wilj find...That this is how
you've treated life as you have
grown older...You've shown
youth is not wholly a matter of
age-but just getting bolder...
You haven't grown old by
merely living a number of
years...You have been as
young as your faith and as old
as your fears...You are as
young as your self confidence
and also your hope...And with
God's help, this made you
able with your problems to
cope...Dad, there are many
beautiful things we could say
about your life...But we will
just say "Thank You" for
your love and Sacrifice...
You've been a Great Dad, one
of the best in the land...We
give God the praise, for you
have not stood on sinking
sand...As you go on with life
Dad, just remember that the
God who helped you and
cheered you in the morning of
youth, in the mid-day of
middle age, can and will give
you beauty, hope, cheer and
couage which will keep your
heart young even if life's later
years.
This would be Dad's an
swer, if asked about his age.
You tell me I am getting
old...l tell you that's not
so!...The house I live in is not
worn oot. . And that of c*?r?
