To My Father

God took the strength of a mountain,
the majesty of a tree,
the warmth of a summer sun,
the calm of a quiet sea.

The generous soul of nature,
the comforting arm of night,
the wisdom of the ages,
the power of the eagle’s flight.

The joy of a morning in spring,
the faith of a mustard seed,
the patience of eternity,
the depth of a family need.

Then God combined these qualities,
when there was nothing more to add,
he knew His masterpiece was complete,
and so, He called it… DAD !
