My Dad

My Dad is big and strong,
He works real hard all day long.

He cares for his family with pride and respect,
Even if he does not know what will come next.

He supports his kids even if they are wrong,
He taught us to stand up for our convictions, to be steady, courageous and strong.

He cheers us on when we are right,
He provides comfort and warmth so we’ll sleep well at night.

My Dad can be goofy and silly,
And sometimes we’d take drives willy-nilly.

He taught me to be good and kind,
And to help those in need and never turn an eye blind.

He never punished out of turn,
And always taught me the good life lessons I have learned.

He lifts me up when I feel down,
With his positive encouragement, I have a limited frown.

I never had to be perfect, but always try my best,
And treat others with patience, love and respect.

He makes me laugh, smile and bellow,
Cause he can be a happy, funny, nutty fellow.

He dances with me every chance he gets,
And if I was in a competition, for me, he would bet.

He’s always there for his brothers and sisters, all family and friends,
When My Dad’s in your life, you’ve got a friend til the end.

All in all, I’m the good person I am today,
Because My Daddy helped me become that way.

How Will I Know?

Will I know when you come around, that you’re the one I’ve been longing to find?

Will I know when I look in your eyes, that you’re the one I’ll be with the rest of my life?

Will I know when you kiss me goodnight, that you’re the one who should be holding me tight?

It seems as though I’m drifting through time, searching for the one I’m dreamed I’d never find.

Will I know when I’m standing by your side, that you’re the one I’ll be loving for the rest of my life?

When I find you I believe I will know, that you’re the one I’ve needed with all my heart and soul.

Living Life by the Seat of Your Pants, a la Dr. Seuss

So, my friend Scott's wife said that my Blog background reminds her of Dr. Seuss...this one's for you Kresta!

***************************************************************
Living Life by the Seat of Your Pants (ala Dr. Seuss)

If you live life by the seat of your pants,
Every day you take a chance.

Your world is not what you thought it would be,
But if it was otherwise, would you be happy?

And even though you’ve loved and lost,
Remember that experience comes with a cost.

When no one calls you on the phone,
You go to dinner all alone.

Some people say you’re really brave,
You’re not brave, it’s company you crave.

You may not have a lot of friends,
But the friends you have, you’ll have til the end.

Every day as you leave for work,
Be thankful you don’t work for a jerk.

Give blessings if you know how to read,
It was your parents and teachers who planted that seed.

Sometimes all you want to do is dance and sing,
At other times you just want to swing.

Especially when you’re feeling sad,
Just remember, life is not so bad.

When you wonder if there’s more,
Unless you search, you’ll never be sure.

When you feel like sleeping all day,
Get up. Go outside, and play.

Even when you’re not sure and steady,
Life always changes, so just get ready.

Always be grateful for what you’ve got,
There are so many others who haven’t got a lot.

When you get down and out,
Remember what life is all about.

Take some time to live it up,
Always keep your chin to up.

And when all is said and done,
Just remember where you come from.

When your life is full of no’s and can’ts,
Just take some time...

                                                  and Live Life by the Seat of Your Pants.
