Deeds so great, words so wise, love so beyond reason,
A book must be written to attempt to record all these fantasies…
The prayers fervently given without my knowledge;
The patience in teaching despite the challenge;
The toilsome work and sleepless nights many a time unappreciated;
The scoldings given too great an amount even to be estimated.
The laughs participated in — endless.
The lessons learned — timeless.
The love so lavished, treasured forever.
Not always valued as it should, but unnoticed? Never
A few notions of who a father isβ¦
But these are only an introduction to this book of yours.
God so beautifully designed the cover,
And you have continued to gracefully write it with the help of another.
