Happy Birthday Letter to Dad

Happy Birthday today to you Dad
I am forever thankful you are here,
not only on your birthday
but all through the years
your presence is with me all the time
your strengths I uphold
always teaching me to stand firm
Dad may you too stand firm now

These heartfelt feelings from day one
nothing to me as sacred as the love
I have for you, no words will
ever express it enough
on this day and at this time
I want you to know and I know you do
How I love you so, this much is so true
For I am your daughter, the grateful one 

No greater love of a daughter for her Dad
who has always been there for me
through all my life's ups and downs
who helped me rise up against many a storm
sheltered me through all kinds of weather
and still you're there, right here with me
even now as your weather isn't shining so bright
I lend you my hand now, on your special day

As you lent me yours, many a year and a day
I return the rock that you gave me long ago
and will stand firm with resolve to always
be there for you now as you need strength
Forever, you will hold a sacred place in my heart
Thank you Dad for being here for me my whole life
and now allow me to be there for you too
No birthday card can say as much as this

I love you very much Dad
I pray God's healing on you
all through your days and nights and
always remember the rock we share
will always and forever be there
Happy Birthday to you Dad
You're the one whom I love and adore
And I am forever here for you evermore



To My Father on his birthday 5.29.10
Much love from your one and only daughter, Mona
