Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

I am grateful.

Grateful that you are my Dad.

You always make me smile

When I'm feeling sad.

Dear Dad,

I'm so glad

That you've shown me something

That you love. And that you passed on

That love to Ben and I.

The love of being in God's

Wild, wonderful, 

Forests, fields, rivers.

Dear Dad,

Thank-you for encouraging me.

For being there to help.

For your laughter and your jokes,

Your smiles and wisdom.

Dear Dad.

Love,
