Dad's Day
Michael R. Cole 1959 (Sacramento)
My Dad is the best a cut above the rest,
he thought I would never leave the nest.
He watched me grow even though he never thought it so,
And after a while it was time for me to go.
The Apple of his eye I tell you no lie,
My sister was the sty.( just kidding)
You know my dad is my hero I’m proud to say,
hope to be just like him someday.
And when we go fishing just Dad and son,
Who needs to catch fish we’re already having fun.
So to my dad I want you to know I love you in every way,
Even though I don’t say it every day.
