64. Remember how you taught me to swim,

holding me up until I began

to trust the water and myself?

into that same lake where you held me,

becoming part of it all.

Now I know

to trust the water and myself.

Everything.

As I grew, you showed me

Everything.

Little by little, you gave me

Everything.

What you've been to me is

Everything.

You walked in strength and kindness.

You walked in love that shone with warmth.

Now I walk alone, but I feel you with me.

67. I can still feel your hand,

big in mine,

even though mine is fully grown.

Time doesn't change anything.

You're still my daddy,

still my hero,

still the hand I want to hold when I'm scared.

68. My Daddy was a soldier,

people said he was a hero

who protected us all.

My Daddy is my hero

who taught me to play ball,

caught me when I would fall,

and made me feel not so small.

69. This man taught me everything

That I needed to know,

But I never really listened

Until he had to go.  — Read Full Poem by Disarae G. Kuhn. "My Dad." Family Friend Poems, April 24, 2006.

But today just one would do,

To watch our front door open,

And see our dad walk through.

How special it will be,

A gathering of the many dads,

Upon our family tree. — Ron Tranmer
