Father's Day

(Humming softly) Take me out to the ballgame,

Take me out with the crowd,

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,

I don't care if I never get back...(stops humming)

Oh, wait.

Today is special. Pastor Paul isn't going to show up here, ready to play ball with me. It's Father's Day.

I still want him to know I'm thinking of him so I guess I'll have to tell him with poetry:

I once had a dad,

When I was just a lad,

I lost him long ago,

I still miss him so.

Now Pastor Paul is like a father to me,

More caring and kind than he has to be,

I'm so glad God gave us to each other,

Like a father to me but, in Christ, a brother.

Happy Father's Day, Pastor Paul!
