Father
in law Poems
Don't know what your going through I don't know what
to say I don't know what your feeling But I do know how to pray I wish
there was a way to help relieve your tremendous strain I wish I could wave
a magic wand and take away your pain There isn't much that I can do
But try and express that I love you Oh father-in-law of mine don't
worry or dismay soon that day will come when God helps you on your way
Better days will come to you and happiness you'll find our families
will come together again and all that pain will unwind

I
know this guy who is stubborn and such, that I love very, very much. I know
that he has always loved me. I don't need him to say it, you see. our love
for each other is felt in our hearts. so we know what we feel will never depart. this
man has always been there to teach me to fish and hunt or to punish me for
some stupid stunt. I try to honor and respect him in all that i do and make
him very proud of me, too. i've made many mistakes in the past, but this
man's forgiveness is firm and fast. he has a kind and gentle heart. his
loving guidance i felt from the start. no matter what he will always be, the
greatest man in the world to me. I know he's human and has his share of flaws, but
think about it after all, for what he taught us in the past are the things
that will last and last. then when our children are all grown, we can teach
them the knowledge that we now own. for what dad taught us was his legacy, that
we should be proud for the world to see.

I've
seen the joy on his face When his grandson took his first walk Seen the
worry and anxiety When he listens to all the drought talk I've watched as
he held a kitten So tenderly in his big, rough paws Softly stroking, lips
curved in a smile When the kitten bats at a straw I've seen him laugh at
newborn calves Their antics as they run, buck, and play And I've seen the
tears in his eyes When things just aren't going his way Like when he loses
a treasured cow Or there's a calf he was too late to save Or one of his
children gets in trouble And he has to let them go their own way He's survived
cancer, and other worse fates And I'm sure glad he's still around We need
his guidance, skill, and wisdom A better man will never be found My husband
wishes he were half the man That my father-in-law has become I agree, and
desperately hope That my children will be like him, some I wish that I could
give him something For all that he has given me His knowledge, love, and
his youngest son A place to live and room to breathe But, there isn't enough
money, or words So I guess all I can do for this man Is make sure dinner's
in the fridge And let him know, I'm proud to call him Dad. ************** |
