Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad-
I sent a card, but since I am so far away,
I am not sure that it arrived on time to say,
I wish you a very Happy Birthday!

From pushing me "over the top" on the swing,
To helping me with math, building bridges and other scholarly things
You are always the wind beneath my wings 

I admire your kindness, intelligence, strength, and wit
You taught me to keep going, never quit
And when I had a goal, to go out and work for it

What I really want to say, Dad, is that I have learned a lot from you,
I am thinking about you, I miss you, and I sure do love you,
From around the world I am sending you a great big hug, a kiss, and a special Happy Birthday to you!

Such a sweet poem and note bring tears to my eyes, but you have always had a way of doing that. Love you and thanks for your kind note. Dad
