A son is a father’s pride and his joy. A little version of himself. Someone to teach how to fish and throw a ball. A friend in so many ways with an unconditional love that will always and forever make you smile. He will eventually take the lessons you taught and venture out into the world making his place somewhere with you in his thoughts as he remembers the life lessons learned. You see each other but not often enough as you age making those moments into perfect memories you can hold onto. He is a man and taller than you are. Guess its true you shrink as your journeys end is within reach. You have had your differences and the love between you is often only spoken in private whispers. Your proud of him with no reservations just an honest reality that has no ending.
A daughter is a father’s little blossom that never stops blooming. She was and is the love of your life. You created a special place in your heart for her and like time itself that love will never end. You sat with her and told her stories about magic ponies and fairy princesses as she held on to every word you spoke. Years later she told you she remembered those stories and the princess bed you bought her. You watched as she grew to be woman with a caring heart that she shares so unselfishly. There is no greater gift of love than a father’s love for a daughter. Now you are old, and she knows that. She stays in touch and worries about your health. She has you over for dinner on Sundays and makes sure you get time with your grandchildren. She wants them to know the kind of man you were and are. A father’s love for his daughter is more difficult to put into words but a warm embrace always speaks volumes. Time can never replace the feel of her tiny hand in your own or that special smile meant just for you.
Sons and daughters simply put.
