what is that? a sparrow!

as Fathers Day approaches, i've been thinking a lot about my dad... how i miss him! thought i'd share this small video clip that reminds me of daddy's love and long suffering for his child..:) hope you enjoy...
and this little poem too...

A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.

Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there.
~ Author Unknown

have a great Fathers Day weekend!!

  6. Ruth this video put tears in my eyes! It is very sad and powerful. We must remember to always be kind to all the generations. Too many people have no patience to take the time to understand - truly understand others. The poem is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
