HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

"Walk a little slower Daddy," said 

a little child so small.

"I'm following in your footsteps, and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

sometimes they're hard to see;

so walk a little slower Daddy for you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up

you're what I want to be.

Then I will have a little child

who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;

So walk a little slower Daddy, for I must follow you.

and

Walk alongside me, Daddy

and hold my little hand.

I have so many things to learn

that I don't yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe

from dangers every day.

Show me how to do my best

at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand

to guide them as they grow.

So walk alongside me Daddy,

we have a long way to go.

Two poems for Father's Day, as I couldn't decide which to choose, they are both share-worthy.

The photo was one I took at Meadowlark Gardens.  I don't go out of my way to take photos of parents with their children, but this was such a pretty scene and whenever I see fathers, and mothers, sharing such a special moment together and to sound very corny, it always touches my heart. I had snapped their photo before I realized.  

My own father-favorite is a photo of hubby and son, when son was small enough to sit on his Daddy's shoulders.  We were living in that area and one day we took a walk down to the beach in Carmel, California (1983-ish).  This was taken after a very enjoyable playtime in the sand, another one of those treasured memories.  I followed them several paces behind going uphill, and our son looked around to see where I was.  A perfect family moment in time captured forever.  

So, I dedicate my post today to all you father's out there, my husband, my own father and all those in our family included, but especially my son's father.

     Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

We found ourselves in Washington DC yesterday, thanks to our son who invited us to Awesome Con 2017.  He in turn had been invited to be part of a three-person panel of local writers, which was why we were there in the first place.  

Gregg and I had a great time and after we left we saw a nice restaurant on the way to our car, and had a pre-celebration for Father's Day, so....

Happy Father's Day to Gregg.

Here's to all the great dads in the world.
